Rethinking Jewish Prayer for Ingathering of Exiles

Summarized from Israel National News by baba

RightCharged tone

English · 1 newsroom

A new interpretation of a Jewish prayer suggests the "Ingathering of the Exiles" should be understood as a "miracle" or "banner" rather than a literal gathering. This reinterpretation emphasizes the miraculous nature of Israel's restoration and the return of Jews worldwide as a fulfillment of prophecy.
