“Imvula ebandayo yana usuku lonke ngoLwesihlanu lapha eJerusalema, nokho saphendula ukudangala kosuku kwaba isingathekiso sezinhlungu zesikhathi esidlule namaphupho akusasa,” kubika uDkt. Peter Tarlow wakwa-Israel.
Isikhathi esiningi ngidebeselela ukusho ukuthi kungani ngilapha ngakho ngicela uvumele ibha eseceleni yemibhalo encane. Uzakwethu osuka eHouston kanye nami sihola iqembu labaholi baseLatino unyaka ngamunye siya kwa-Israel. Lokhu kuvakasha kwamasiko amabili akuhlosiwe ukuba kube ezokuvakasha ngakunye, kodwa kunalokho inkhulumomphendvulwano yamasiko ne-Israel yesimanje neyasendulo esebenza njengengemuva lethu. Isikhungo sethu, esibizwa ngokuthi “Isikhungo Sobudlelwano Bama-Latino-Jewish”, sifuna izindlela zokuthi amaJuda namaLatinos adlulele ngale kwengxoxo nje futhi adale ukuhloniphana nokunakekelana. Uhambo alunapolitiki futhi luhloselwe ukondla kokubili umzimba nomphefumulo. Kanjalo, iDolobha leNkosi uDavide lisebenza njengendawo ekahle yokuhlola amasiko nokudala izibopho zobungane nokuhloniphana.
U-Israyeli uyindawo ephelele. Iyisikhungo somlando nendawo yokudla okukhulu. Izithelo namantongomane nemifino kuhle kangangokuthi akungaphezu nje kokujabulisa ulwanga kodwa kuguqula isenzo sebhayoloji sokudla sibe umgubho wemfundiso yenkolo wezinzwa. Kanjalo, ukuhamba emakethe yaseMachandh Yehudah ngoLwesihlanu olunetha ntambama, njengoba imakethe iqala ukuvala iSabatha lamaJuda kuwuhambo oluya emlandweni wokudla wamaJuda. Kusebenza njengesikhumbuzo sokuthi ukudla okuhle ngempela akugcini nje ngokugcwalisa isisu kodwa futhi kusebenzisana nomphefumulo.
ULwesihlanu bekuwusuku olunikezelwe emlandweni weminyaka eyinkulungwane kanye namashumi eminyaka. Kusukela emnyuziyamu eShrine of the Book yakwa-Israyeli, egcina imiqulu yoLwandle Olufile, bese idlulela e-Yad VaShem, isikhungo sikazwelonke sakwa-Israyeli sokulondoloza ukuQothulwa Kwesizwe umuntu uqala ukuqonda ukujula komlando wamaJuda. Ekuqaleni lezi kumane kuyizinsalela zesikhathi esidlule, amaqiniso omlando. Bese zonke izinguquko. Lapho kungena "ihholo lezingane" elimnyama, lapho izingane ezibulewe eziyisigidi nengxenye zimelelwa ngokomfanekiso, kuguqula izinto ezesabekayo zayizolo zibe ubuhlungu besintu. Izingane zimelelwa izibani eziphazimayo ngokumelene nobumnyama bobusuku baphakade, futhi njengoba izibani zicwayiza sizwa amagama azo namazwe avela kuzo. Amagama abo asikhumbuza izimpilo ezintsha ezabulawa ngenxa nje yobugebengu bokuzalwa. Yisikhathi esiletha ukuqina kwethu izinyembezi.
Nokho naphezu konya lwesikhathi esidlule, ukuphila ngandlela-thile kuyaqhubeka. Ngemva kwesidlo sasemini emakethe abangani bethu baseLatino bavakashela iSonto Lethuna Elingcwele futhi bathenga ubuhlalu berosari ukuze babusiswe.
Kwabe sekunqamuka ukuthenga kwahlala ukuthula kweSabatha phezu komuzi kugezwa izinhlungu zayizolo ngokuzola komphefumulo kanye nesintu esivamile okwabelwana ngawo womabili amaqembu. Njengoba sabelana ngesidlo sakusihlwa seSabatha nomndeni wakwa-Israel owafudukela kwa-Israel usuka eTexas, saqonda izibopho zethu ezifanayo kanye neqiniso lokuthi lapho sibhekene nobubi obudlule kufanele sifune izindlela zokunikela izimpilo zethu ukuze sithole izibusiso.
