Send us your comments Marilyn Crawford, Clatskanie, OR, USA: Throughout the Holy Scriptures, prophets declare that God will return all of His people Israel to her homeland. I am sorry that His name is not mentioned. He too regrets being forgotten as the Scriptures repeat over and over. Holy people of God, the land is yours, take it bravely and confidently in the name of your God, do not divide it to appease the world, you are not of the world, but chosen and set apart. If you want the protection of your Creator, lean not upon your own understanding, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. Then your people will flow, protected, into the land of milk and honey, and He will be your God and you will be His people. Robert Meyer, Mercaz Shapira, Israel: I read the column, waiting for the real point to come - but it never did. Two olim go to visit America and tell their stories and succeed in making their connection to the Worcester, MA crowd. The American Jewish audience may feel good that these olim succeeded in Israel, but the aliyah connection to them was not made at all. I came to Israel about 20 years ago, and other Americans come as well but not enough. If more Americans would come, perhaps there would not have been a reason to give up parts of Eretz Israel. Why was the push for more Americans to come to Israel not made?
