Today is the 77th anniversary of the UN vote that created Israel. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to the Jewish people. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to America & the West (on the birth of one of their most valuable allies in the form of a modern state). It’s moving that there is a street in Jerusalem called "Kaf-tet b'November". Normally, Hebrew dates are in Hebrew letters -- kaf tet = 29 -- while English dates are in numbers. This is the only case of an English date with Hebrew letters. It's as if the 29th of November was given the honor of a place on the Hebrew calendar. There's a sacredness about it.
