Hi,
[Isaiah 10:30 says to the Jews, "Give forth your voice, daugther of Galim; listen, Layish!"]
"'Daughter of Galim [גלים]' means 'Daughter of exiles [גולים]' - The daughter of Avraham, regarding whom it is written, 'And there was a famine in the land, and Avram descended to Egypt. The daughter of Yitzchak, regarding whom it is written, 'And Yitzchak went to Avimelech, King of the Philistines, to Gerar.' And the daughter of Yaakov, regarding whom it is written, 'And he went to Padan Aram.'
"'Listen' - Listen to My mitzvot, listen to the words of Torah, listen to the words of prophecy, listen to acts of righteousness and good deeds."
(Midrash, Eichah Rabbah, Petichta 1)
May we soon see the rebuilding of the Beit haMikdash,
Mordechai
