"There is a brow or an edge where the visitor ramp meets the memorial, and at that point, there's been some fissures located on the exterior," said Jay Blount, a spokesman for the World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument.
At some point the number of pilgrims hits critical mass.
Arizona - sketchy etymology, sounds like "Eretz Tziona", the land toward Zion
Buried where she died. Isolated grave. Hawaii is the 50th state, which is the most isolated archipelago on the planet. 49 states can be accessed by land (the earth), but not the 50th. Access is by water (slow) or air (fast).
Aloha carries the same concept as shalom. Peace, hello, and goodbye. Birth and death is hello and goodbye.
The death of the USS Arizona was the entry point ("birth") of the United States into WWII.
The oil seepage of the Eretz Tziona is called the tears of the Arizona. She cries tears [of oil] from her grave.
Seventy years after 1941...
Japan, responsible for the death of 1177 souls on the Arizona, was struck by a great earthquake and tsunami ("mabul") on March 11, 2011. See the sounds:
Marcheschvan eleven - March eleven, '11,
70 years after the year '41. 41st day: "em". Rachel's yarhzeit, Marcheshvan 11.
In a lengthy Midrashic discussion of the heavenly response to the destruction of the First Temple, God summons Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, and Jeremiah. Each of these greats offers an argument as to why the Temple should be rebuilt. God, however, is unmoved. Then, the Midrash relates, Rachel speaks:
where the visitor ramp meets the memorial... there's been some fissures located on the exterior.
A tomb is a womb, death and rebirth.
Same day the cracks and closure are announced, Tzippi the American Robin and her husband become parents! Two arrivals so far, one to go! Only discovered the nest at the front door on Shavous, already built, occupied and containing three eggs. The whole scene showed up out of nowhere, but that's only because we were oblivious to its construction. The birds flying in and out just blended in with Springtime activity.
A Building of the Heavens or of the Earth
There is a classic difference of opinion between our Rabbis regarding the construction of the Third Beis HaMikdash. The Rambam states [1] that the Beis HaMikdash will be built by man, more specifically by Mashiach. Indeed, its construction will be one of the signs of Mashiach’s advent.
Rashi, [2] by contrast, explains that the Beis HaMikdash has already been constructed by G-d and exists in the Heavenly realms, waiting for the time when it will descend to the earth.

Paradox solved thanks to the robins at the front door.
Moshe Rabbeinu...
Moses Atop Mount Sinai (1313 BCE)
"Moses went up to the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain...for six days. On the seventh day G-d called to Moses from within the cloud... And Moses came within the cloud, and he went up to the top of the mountain, and Moses was upon the mountain forty days and forty nights" (Exodus 24:15-18).
On the morrow of the giving of the Ten Commandments (see Jewish History for the 6th of Sivan), Moses ascended Mount Sinai in order to receive from G-d the remainder of the Torah -- the remaining commandments and the Oral Law. After being "cleansed" by the cloud for six days, he was ushered into the presence of G-d on the 13th of Sivan.https://www.chabad.org/calendar/view/day.asp?tdate=5/27/2018
The kan tzippor is literally at the door.
"Mother robins may start incubating their eggs during the evening after the second egg is laid, or after all the eggs are laid. They sit on the eggs for 12 to 14 days."
American embassy opening: May 14th. After 70 years. 13 days ago.
Jer 29
10. For thus says the Lord, That after seventy years are fulfilled at Babylon I will take heed of you, and perform my good word toward you, making you return to this place:
11. For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope:
12. Then shall you call upon me, and you shall go and pray to me, and I will listen to you:
13. And you shall seek me, and find me, when you shall search for me with all your heart:

"Robin" appears only 14x in the Tanakh, 10 forward, 4 reverse. Marked by the bold in the text references below. The first two are here:
Gen 1
4. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness:
18. And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness; and God saw that it was good:
Three of four in reverse are here:
Isa 65:17-18
17. For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the former shall not be remembered, nor come to mind:
18. But be glad and rejoice forever in that which I create; for, behold, I create JerUSAlem a rejoicing, and her people a joy:
The first occurrance of the word in reverse is here, concerning the king of Babylon:
Isa 14.19. But you are cast out from your grave like an abominable branch, dressed in the garment of those who are slain, thrust through with a sword; like those who go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcass trampled under feet:
Birds are souls. Robin spells Rubin:
Recorded in over seventy spellings forms including Reuben, Ruhben, Rubin and Rubel, to diminutives and patronymics such as Reubbens, Rubenovic, and Rubinivitz, this is a surname of pre 7th century Hebrew and/or Germanic origins. There is some confusion with the origin, in that it appears to derive from the given name of biblical times 'Reuven', meaning 'behold my son', but it may equally share roots with the German word 'rubin' meaning the ruby, and a derivative of the Latin 'rubeus' - red. There are few straight lines with names, and this is a good example of confused origins.

Confused, more like a blend. See a son.
It didn't occur to me to name Tzippi's husband, but obviously Tzippi's husband is Moshe. He's been doing such a great job - standing guard, and also now helping to feed the new babes. I can watch all of this from the front door window. The nest is only ~5 ft away, in plain sight.

Now about that third egg... I'll check tomorrow, but please keep the little family in your prayers! Everybody ought to be eager for the successful arrival of the last one.
USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor closed indefinitely
I look at it this way: why would anyone need or want to visit her grave after she came back to life? The grieving has ended. Tomorrow is Memorial Day.
The third arrival is here, safe and sound!
Memorial Day - to honor and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation.
Happy Memorial Day birthday American Robin baby no. 3!
Luv this. The world is a classroom. So much to learn. Even if I only catch a fraction of the teaching, I can shoot for a 100% attendance and attention record, no nodding off.
