For 2,000 years, our ancestors prayed and yearned for a return to Jerusalem at the most meaningful moments of the year: at the conclusion of the Yom Kippur service and of the Passover Seder.As we celebrate the reunification of Jerusalem on this Jerusalem Day, let us examine some classic sources on the citys deep, spiritual meaning in our faith.Psalm 122 is filled with King Davids strong emotions about Jerusalem. In verse three, he sings that it is a city united together. The Jerusalem Talmud (Chagiga 2:6) explains that this means it is a city that makes all of Israel into friends.While the rest of Israel was divided with each of the 12 tribes receiving its own portions of land, Jerusalem is shared by two tribes: Judah and Benjamin.

Bill de Blasio, the mayor of New York City, has been accused of blaming the Jewish community for flouting social distancing regulations during the current coronavirus pandemic. This is a patently unfair accusation. Last month, de Blasio personally supervised the dispersal of a large, tightly packed ultra-Orthodox funeral procession in Brooklyns Williamsburg neighborhood.

This is a month that allows an open space for the celebration of the unique cultures belonging to the Asian and Pacific Islander communities as well as a space for community members to show what makes their cultures special to them
