modern day Edom?
In today's daf in the daf yomi calendar, we were learning about wine from Edom. We ended up getting into a discussion of what is considered Edom nowadays. It obviously came to America, as that is commonly referred to a sa modern day Edom.
Somebody pointed out that USA read backwards reads out Esau (ASU). Just thought you might find it ironic..
Modern Jewry is Edom. They were the mixed race people then and are today. The Jewish encyclopedia even states this.
