For holidays, it's "They tried to kill us. We won. Let's eat." There's a big difference between "We survived" and "We won."

What do you expect, Israel is G-d's wife, Israel is carved in G-d's palms, and part of the unconditional Abrahamic Covenant is Gen 12:1-3...I will bless those who bless her and curse those who curse her. Yes, Israel belongs to Hashem.

Nobody can fit into or use a Jewish (or Yiddish) word or expression like a Jew. When goyim use Jewish expressions, the meaning/essence never remains. Enjoy Pesach, and its feasts. But never, especially now, forget the lessons.

Brilliant, Joshua. Reading these sayings and your expansion on them, makes me even more proud to be Jewish. Thank you for this.
