Yesterday I got to an email in time from Ari Bussel
informing me of a Conference Call billed as National Faith Leaders Call with
Donald Trump. Ari provided the contact info to be on the call to me which I
indeed participated (9/2/21).
The call began with a proviso that if members managed to get
access to hang up now for the Conference Call was to be off the record. Because
of that I will not share the content of what I was able to listen. Sadly my old
Android Smart Phone dropped the call about a half-hour after beginning. BUT
this I will share: President Trump (that without FRAUD – the actually elected
President in 2020) was very upbeat and did NOT sound like a quitter.
In conjunction with that Conference Call I am sharing Ari
Bussel’s email exchange with whom he was invited to participate.

Carry the Flag to Zion!

Dear Amanda, Jenny and Pastor Paula,
What an extraordinary surprise and blessing it is to have
received your invite this morning! So while we were (not) “asleep at the
wheel,” and while numbness seems to have frozen us to the point of “slumber and
sleep,” you have apparently continued working, creating, germinating and are
here now, ready for this very day!
There is nothing more encouraging and uplifting that looking
all around and seeing the multitudes - us - ready and eager to join; standing
thirsty and waiting for these drops of rain, like seeds in the Sahara Desert.
We are one, great in numbers, but united in essence and
purpose - in belief in God the Almighty and what He wants from us. Thus,
a song plays in my mind, written more than 120 years ago following the First
Zionist Congress. The Congress main mission was to UNITE the Jewish
People, all hundreds and hundreds of its cooperatives, associations and groups
into one great movement whose members will emigrate to the Land of Israel, in
great waves.
[שאו
ציונה נס ודגל - S’u Tziona Nes va Degel]
Lift toward Zion a pole and
flag, the flag of the Judean camp …
Return, return from great
distances
to our homeland, to the land of
our Fathers …
For our people, for our land, be
strong and become strong
Together we will go, please, we
will return
to our land, that of our
Forefathers
to our beloved land
where our childhood began ….
Then our mouths will be filled
with laughter and our tongue with singing (Psalms 126:2 - which continues,
“then said they among the nations: ’The Lord has done great things with
these!’”)
…
And so the song that has become somewhat of an anthem (and
has filled my mind, refusing to leave) is based on the words of the Prophet
Jeremiah. The Prophet tells us to “tell,” to “sound,” to “say” and to
“blow the horn,” - to "call, fill and tell, gather and let us come
together” - all action directives - CARRY THE FLAG TO ZION, DARE NOT
STAND" (idle), carry the flag, unite!
Jeremiah Chapter 4 יִרְמְיָהוּ
ה הַגִּידוּ בִיהוּדָה, וּבִירוּשָׁלִַם הַשְׁמִיעוּ, וְאִמְרוּ, ותקעו (תִּקְעוּ) שׁוֹפָר בָּאָרֶץ; קִרְאוּ מַלְאוּ וְאִמְרוּ, הֵאָסְפוּ וְנָבוֹאָה אֶל-עָרֵי הַמִּבְצָר
ו שְׂאוּ-נֵס צִיּוֹנָה, הָעִיזוּ אַל-תַּעֲמֹדוּ:
כִּי רָעָה, אָנֹכִי
מִצָּפוֹן--וְשֶׁבֶר גָּדוֹל.
5 Declare ye in Judah,
and publish in Jerusalem, and say: 'Blow ye the horn in the land'; cry aloud
and say: 'Assemble yourselves, and let us go into the fortified cities.'
6 Set up a standard
toward Zion; put yourselves under covert, stay not; for I will bring evil from
the north, and a great destruction.
You have called us to the Flag today, exactly a week before
our Jewish New Year.
It is at this time (this Hebrew month leading to the
Jewish New Year, in the Seventh Month of the Biblical Calendar) that it is said
we are closest to God;
that God hears us clearest,
for the King is in the Fields -
out of the castle, traveling, closest to His people
who are working in the fields
It is this month,
therefore,
that we ask for forgiveness
that we focus on retrospection (and introspection)
and get ready to the blowing of the Shofar (horn)
which is (what we are commanded to do on) the first day of
our New Year
We celebrate the past
we look into the future
and we stand ready
a great many multitudes
and are so very grateful for your Call
and for leading the way!
Numbers Chapter 29 בְּמִדְבַּר
א וּבַחֹדֶשׁ
הַשְּׁבִיעִי בְּאֶחָד לַחֹדֶשׁ, מִקְרָא-קֹדֶשׁ יִהְיֶה לָכֶם--כָּל-מְלֶאכֶת עֲבֹדָה, לֹא תַעֲשׂוּ: יוֹם
תְּרוּעָה, יִהְיֶה לָכֶם.
1 And in the seventh
month, on the first day of the month, ye shall have a holy convocation: ye
shall do no manner of servile work; it is a day of blowing the horn unto you.
White House High Holy Days Call
Friday, September 27, 2019
Operator: Hello
and thank you for joining today's High Holy Days call with Jewish faith
leaders. Please note that this call is being recorded. At this time all
audience members are in listen-only mode to minimize background noise. There
will be Q&A at the end of this call, and we will provide instructions at
that time. I would now like to formally begin today's call and introduce
President of the United States, Donald J Trump.
Pres. Trump: It's
a great honor to be with you and to host our third annual call with Jewish
leaders, rabbis and friends to wish you Shana Tova, a sweet new year. During
the High Holy Days, families gather in synagogues across the country and around
the world to sound the shofar and pray, reflect and thank God for His many
blessings.
As we mark the Jewish New Year, our entire country is
reminded of the infinite ways Jewish Americans strengthen our communities,
uplift our nation, and deepen our culture. You care for your neighbors, teach
your children, cherish our heritage, and you embody the American dream.
Throughout history, the Jewish people have suffered unthinkable oppression and
persecution, yet they have persevered, endured, thrived, and created a
flourishing democracy - the state of Israel.
In the last two and a half years, we have strengthened the
everlasting friendship between the United States and Israel. I moved the United
States Embassy to Jerusalem. We recognized Israel's sovereignty over the Golan
Heights, which was something they were trying to have done for 72, or 52 years
to be more specific. We're confronting Iran, a regime that chants "Death
to Israel."
As I said in my recent address to United Nations, America
will never tolerate anti-Semitic hate. In recent months, our entire nation was
stricken with shock and grief and righteous anger when two horrific
anti-Semitic murderers attacked synagogues in California and Pennsylvania. To
every survivor, family member and to the entire Jewish community, all of
America embraces you with love. We pledge our undying and total resolve to
excise the vile placing of anti-Semitism from our world. Earlier this year, I
appointed a new special envoy to monitor and combat anti-Semitism. Elan Carr,
who is with us now and will provide an update shortly. In the wake of such
atrocious attacks, millions have been inspired by Jewish-American heroes who
responded to the worst evil with remarkable bravery. During my State of the
Union Address, we were all moved by the presence of Pittsburgh survivor, Judah
Samet, who also survived the Holocaust. In May, on the National Day of Prayer
in the Rose Garden, we were joined by members of the congregation from Poway,
California, including Rabbi Goldstein. This afternoon we're joined on the call
by survivors of the Holocaust. We cannot comprehend the persecution and
suffering you have endured, yet you have overcome the darkest chapters of human
history with the purity of love and goodness in your hearts. We renew our
pledge now and always. Never again.
I understand that during this time of year, you often read
Psalm 27. We remember the promise of those words that says, "Wait for the
Lord. Be strong and let your heart take courage." Today, we thank God for
His faithfulness and for the countless ways Jewish-Americans bless our nation.
Always,
Ari Bussel
