Is it Time to Change Our Name to: "Religious-Zionist-Universalist"?
Rav Kook ingeniously explains that all ideologies can be defined within the major 3 ideologies of mankind: religion- nationalism- morality/universalism. These are also the 3 factions causing the disunity in Israel today. These 3 are all (and always were) based in Yerushalayim- the national, religious and universal capitol. All 3 are not only ideals, but also necessary to balance & make sure that the other 2 don't get extreme, and start putting down the others
Rabbi Ari Shvat | Iyar 5785

“Our eyes and hearts are always directed towards Jerusalem.”
Not only is the amidah directed toward Jerusalem, but the whole prayer service is too, even when we are not facing Jerusalem.
Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu | Iyar 28 5782

Something to Stand Up For
It is not a coincidence that Jerusalem Day falls on the eve of the Torah reading of Bemidbar.
