Flocks

As we celebrate Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles), and you celebrate Mid-Autumn festival, birds are gathering to fly south to Africa. You can see huge flocks early in the morning taking flight.

It's also the time of the year when flocks of a different nature are flying into Israel - the so-called Jewish Messianic evangelical christians. They come on Sukkot to fulfill the prophecy of the prophet Zechariah that gentiles will join Jews in celebrating Sukkot. This year 7000 have arrived, boosting the economy but angering orthodox Jews who see these christians as nothing but wolves inisheeps' clothing. http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1254673317623&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull
