That is the first song I thought of whenever I used to see a yellow ribbon, now I wear one praying everyday for all the hostages to be released. Thank you for the backstory.🎗
The Star of David is simmilar to shaktkona in Hinduism which is related to Shakti worship ,if Judaism has to reestablish itself to its original self ,it has to look towards Hinduism ,cz Hinduism has some Jewish admixture
I am in my 60s, so I certainly remember the song. Beyond the song, I have a close personal connection with Mr. Orlando and the group Dawn. However, I never knew about the song’s Jewish roots. Thank you.
The Vacant Chair is an image taken from an old American Civil War song ("We will meet, but we will miss him, There will be one vacant chair, We shall linger to caress him, While we breathe our evening prayer"). Lyrics by poet Henry Stevenson Washburn; music by George F. Root. The song inspired by a singular death, is universal in its passionate grief. It became popular among male singers, especially operatic soloists and harmony quartets (e.g John McCormack). It was recorded dozens of times, as early as 1903, and is often sung in Freemasonic lodges upon the death of a member. Many of the different 78 rpm recordings are on You Tube.Tying the Vacant Chair and Yellow Ribbon images together creates the Yellow Vacant Chair, and those of us whose memory goes back farther will remember the Yellow Stars our ancestors wore as well.
Maccabi Sports organization adopted Yellow because of the Yellow Star of David that Jews were forced to wear in the Shoa. There may be a double symbolism.
I had always assumed he was a military man having "served his time" (tour of duty) rather than someone getting out of prison. It's not explicit in the song either way, but I found your comment interesting.
That line in Conair finally makes sense; when Nicholas Cage writes his last letter home to his wife (and toddler) from prison he says tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree, cuz this man's coming home.

Bingo. Yes. We used the yellow ribbon and song in the USA for while the American hostages were held in Iran and we still use it for less huge hostage issues.

Even though I was born after 1970, I still love that song.
Wow!! Thank you Dr Abrahamson! Only thing missing is the song in the background or YOU actually singing it! Thanks again

Sorry I didn't get to meet you while you were in Israel 😢
Why something modern? Do the Holy Scriptures not provide a way to show solidarity with those kidnapped on October 7, 2023?
What about the people being killed in Gaza every day? What do you wear for them?
Smiles
@ smiles? As in you’re smiling because they’re dead?
Stop hating attacking Israel and Jews..
Then peace will occur.
Simple
Regular clothes, if it was up to them I would be dead.
