Mount Zion from the Mount of Olives, 1942 — (Photo: Matson Collection/Library of Congress)

“But on Mount Zion will be deliverance;
it will be holy,
and Jacob will possess his inheritance.” (Obadiah 7:17)

In this photo, taken in the pre-state days of Israel in 1942 as war and anti-Semitism targeted European Jewry, the Zionist dream was certainly alive as we look from the Mount of Olives toward Mount Zion, the holy inheritance of God’s people. Shabbat shalom, friends.
