Golan Heights & Parashat Para:
This week, in an historic move, the United States of America recognized Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, an area captured from Syria in the defensive war fought in 1967, the Six Day War.
This week, we read the special reading of Parashat Para, the Red Heifer which allowed for purification in the Beit Hamikdash, the Temple.
What is the connection?
