Maybe if they approve the right of return you can get your farm back.
My farm is gone.
Why dream of something that can never be?
So goes the same for the 'right of return'.
Dwelling on the past is never good.
Trust me, I know.
I don't know where your farm was.
Near what is now Mazkeret Batya. The farm is gone, but the town my great-great grandfather helped building is still intact.
We want the lands we've lost, of course, but to know that the poject my righteous grandfathbuilt still exist, sweeten the bad pill a bit.
Google 'Mazkeret Batya'. It was built under the Baron's will, by 11 Rabbies from Russia in 1883. one of those Rabbis was Dov Rodvsky, he was my Savta's grandfather. After they lost the ranch, they stayed in their other house, the one my grandfather built in the town he helped building. There my grandmother was born. She dreamed her father's dream to retrieve the ranch, but she knew to recognize a lost caust when it's there.
So her life she dedicated to Mazkeret Betya, which was where she grew up in.
That, Mr Tinmore, is the true meaning of Zionism. We lost, but we still exist in the little we have. Build build build, and live.
