blog, my life in tel aviv

Was I the only person not- totally celebrating at the inauguration? was it only me who was just a little worried about the sermons and the religious songs?  I mentioned something about the separation of church and state on my Facebook and got no response as if I had tried to ruin the party.  But it couldn’t be the only one wondering at the second-hand bible quotes slipping in and out of the ceremony, from “Halleluja” to the excluded stanzas of “This Land is Your Land”now I read Mira Fox in the Forward and she points out the religious nature of the ceremony.  I’m waiting for someone to now say that there were too many catchwords without substance, that the cliches were taken out of context.   I believe in Biden, but I’m troubled by the overused phrases.
