The Uncelebrated

June 7, 1929 Vatican City became a sovereign independent State. Vatican City is approximately 110 acres with a population of around 800 and is ruled by the Bishop of Rome–the Pope.

Premier Mussolini destined to become the fascist leader of Italy during World War Two represented King Victor Emmanuel; it had been a five month process from the signing of the treaty until the deliverance of the deed plus a check for 39 million dollars. There is no celebration on this day.

What is interesting is the dates of the treaty and the day that Mussolini came to the Pope fall on significant days in the Hebrew calendar. February 11th was the first day of the new moon of Adar, the month in which a great miracle was made for the Jewish People; the new moon of Adar begins the time of happiness.

June 7th of that year was the second day of Shavuot when the giving of the Torah is celebrated; the second day is celebrated only in exile. It is in the incidences of time where God is seen and deeper understanders can occur.

The Jewish and Roman Peoples are forever tied together as the Torah says, As Rome rises Israel falls and as Israel rises Rome falls; these two twin progenitors of peoples, Yaakov and Esau, who struggled out of the womb continue until today.
