From: Micha Berger < > does ge'on yaaqov exist during galus? >> Actually not. At least not the 'geon yaakov' that I know of, mentioned in Tehillim 47:5. The Metzudos says it means the Bes Hamikdosh while the Redak says it refers to the EY of the 'good old days'. (Unless, of course, you and RZS are talking about some different geon yaakov.) SBA
