I have often thought,shouldn’t we always be saying that it’s (this year) 1947 years from the churban,like your site has clearly stated ( and may it not ch”v become any longer than that) I instead of constantly mentioning that it’s 2000 years since the churban?…..I am in my 50’s,and as far back as i can remember,even in my school days my rebbeim were already talking about 2000 years in golus……Do we ch”v want it to become that long?…..So why do we always talk that way?…..Who knows? Maybe we have put an ayin horah on this golus by making it out to be that long,so that HKBH says “You want it to be 2000 years ? ok then!…..Lets get used to talking in terms of 1900 years,less than it is,not more!…..But Matzav,you’ve written correctly,i’me just protesting against the mainstream.
why are so many people sleeping there?
Shouldn’t it be 1945 years?
