This one is for Sherry :) and everyone else who is awaiting Geula
Disclaimer: I must add this... no-one can definitely pinpoint a date for Moshiach's arrival. Moshiach can come at any time.
If you don't have young kids, then you don't understand. They've been saying "six seven" for a long time. It's a chant, and as soon as they hear anyone say 6 7 they all start screaming "Six Seven".
And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out My spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy.....
and if you still don't understand..... it represents the final digits of the Hebrew years 5786 and 5787.... when we are expecting our Redeemer.
Maimonides' [Rambam] Thirteen Principles of Faith. Specifically, the 12th principle states: "I believe with complete faith in the coming of Moshiach, and although he may tarry, nevertheless, I wait every day for him to come".
Amen v'Amen..
ReplyDeleteAs Noachide, i await too the coming of Moshiach, with all the Jewish people.

so your kids also say this, so it's true awesome
DeleteMy grandkids actually. It may have been my kids when I started blogging, but time has flown.
Deletefirst time i hear this, i have grandchildren i have to check wow!
ReplyDeleteIf they know, they will think it's hilarious that you asked them.
DeleteBut I guess they say "shesh sheva" in israel. Or do they say "six seven" ??
I just asked some of my grandkids who were born in Israel and attend religious schools. I started with the 9-year-old who goes to yeshivah katanah and he said he had heard it at school and the kids use the English "six-seven" but he has no idea what it is supposed to mean. His six-year-old sister piped up and surprised me by saying she had heard it also in first grade, "But" she said, we don't say it. It's not good." And the boy added, "Yeah, I think it came from the Chr*stians."
DeleteAbout that time, the 13-year-old sister walked in and I asked her. She said, yes, she had heard it. Some kids say "six-seven" and others say "shesh-sheva". She had heard both but she doesn't know what it means and doesn't care because she doesn't take up with fads.
Eizeh nachat li! :-D
Nope...they say 6, 7 in Israel too. I was getting really tired of hearing that but that gives it a new positive perspective

Enjoy the nachat TD. I also had nachat when my grand-daughter told her mother that she wasn't too old to have a baby [she's in her 30s!] and that Sarah and Avraham asked Hashem and had a baby when they were old too.
DeleteMy grandchildren in Israel say six/seven with their cute Israeli accents :)

ReplyDeleteI’m not a child and whenever the children say 67 or I see a 67 I start saying six seven, which starts everyone laughing. Have a wonderful Shabbos to everyone 🌸
From Google AI
ReplyDeleteThe viral "67" (or "six-seven") meme originally stems from Philadelphia rapper Skrilla’s drill rap song "Doot Doot (6 7)" released in late 2024. In the song, the number refers to a local Philadelphia police code (10-67) or a specific block.However, the phrase turned into a massive internet inside joke through a wild chain of events:The Basketball Connection: Social media creators used Skrilla's song as the background audio for highlight reels of 6'7" NBA player LaMelo Ball, causing the numbers and the song to become heavily associated with each other.The "67 Kid": High school basketball phenom Taylen "TK" Kinney helped popularize the hand-waving gesture, and a video of a young boy aggressively shouting "6-7" at a basketball game went viral.The "Brain Rot" Slang: It evolved into a completely nonsensical catchphrase and inside joke among teens and Gen Alpha, often used as a random answer to unrelated questions (like "what's the time?" or "how are you?"). It became so ubiquitous that Dictionary.com named "67" the Word of the Year.
My children go to ultra orthodox school and they say it as well. This has crossed all borders.
