Yes I concur. Selamat Hari Raya Haji. Dhu'l-Hijjah 11, 1446 It is also Shabat, 11 Sivian 5785. Tomorrow is Pentecost Sunday, 8 June 2025 Indeed a Holy Weekend for the Ibrahimic Religions.
Today is the Climax of the Ishmael Pilgrimage - After entering Mecca in ihram, many pilgrims perform an initial tawaf by circling the Kaaba, a black stone structure at the heart of the Great Mosque in Mecca (Masjid al-Haram), seven times in a counterclockwise direction. This symbolises unity in the worship of the one God.
SO GRAND !! https://asiasociety.org/files/160908_hajj_slideshow.jpg
Now compare with poor Isaac's Pilgrimage for the last 2,000 years:
Isaacs historically performed pilgrimages to Jerusalem three times a year, primarily to the Temple, for the festivals of Passover, Shavuot, and Sukkot. These festivals, known as the Three Pilgrimage Festivals (Shalosh Regalim), were occasions for communal gatherings, prayer, and offerings. While the Temple no longer stands, the tradition of pilgrimage and visiting Jerusalem remains important, especially for certain rituals and to visit the Western Wall.
Three Pilgrimage Festivals: The Hebrew Bible mandates that Jewish males appear before God three times a year, coinciding with Passover, Shavuot, and Sukkot. In ancient times, pilgrims brought produce and offerings to the Temple, a practice no longer possible with the Temple's destruction. While the Temple is gone, the Western Wall, a remnant of the Second Temple, is a focal point for prayer and pilgrimage for many Jews today. Kesian.

Shailoks' god was so disgusted with their behaviour that he deserted-abandoned then thrice, the First Diaspora, second diaspora and the Holocaust. The next abandonment will be the last
