May 21, 2019

כִּי כֹה אָמַר יְהֹוָה צְבָאוֹת אַחַר כָּבוֹד שְׁלָחַנִי אֶל־הַגּוֹיִם הַשֹּׁלְלִים אֶתְכֶם כִּי הַנֹּגֵעַ בָּכֶם נֹגֵעַ בְּבָבַת עֵינוֹ׃

For thus said the lord of Hosts—He who sent me after glory—concerning the nations that have taken you as spoil: “Whoever touches you touches the pupil of his own eye.

Zechariah 2:12

The Sisters of Mary join Rabbi Tuly Weisz to discuss this passage and why they love it so much!

These German sisters feel the guilt for what Germany did to the Jewish People during the Holocaust. Reading the Bible has helped them understand the connection between God and the People of Israel. They have repent for standing by during WWII, and now proclaim their support for Israel.
