The once Proud Nations of Europe

Dry Bones Golden Oldie, by Sali the LSW. (Long Suffering Wife). Here is a Dry Bones cartoon from 2014. It is sad that this is true today, even more, and that now serious antisemitism has become part of the mix. In Ireland the Dublin City Council is re-naming the park that is named after a native son of Ireland and a hero of World War 2 against the Germans, and the 6th President of Israel, Chaim Herzog to be re-named "free Palestine" Park.

Happy Thanksgiving tomorrow, Nov. 27th

 Dry Bones Golden Oldie, by Sali the LSW. (Long Suffering Wife) Here is a Dry Bones cartoon from 1996. Thanksgiving is almost the one major, family get together type holiday in America that the Jews can fully participate in, and we are very Thankful and happy about that.

 Happy Thanksgiving for tomorrow November 27th.  I have much to be thankful for. And I hope to be able to keep alive some of the Dry Bones spirit to keep up Yaakov's desire to help the Jewish People survive and thrive.


and ... here is a second cartoon for the holiday from 2013. This year, the 2 holidays do not exactly fall together but, here in Israel, all the bakeries are already selling "Sufganiot", (jelly doughnuts), the Israeli and Sephardic version of "Latkes". They both use a lot of oil to cook, which is maybe why they are traditional Hannukah foods.


Update: The orthopedic doctor says that my rib is probably broken, but that there is no point in wasting time to do an x-ray since there is nothing to be done but wait for time to heal. But I am actually feeling much better, so maybe it is just a bruise. I gave a very successful art lesson and lecture yesterday, and am doing another, now to be weekly lesson, to a smaller group today.

By the way, you are always welcome to do a right click save on any of the cartoons and share with friends, as long as it is not for commercial purposes.

Hoping that "The Good" Guys Win!

 Dry Bones Golden Oldie, by Sali the LSW. (Long Suffering Wife) Here is a Dry Bones cartoon from 2003. We are hoping that the "good guys" win!

I have not yet been able to get an x-ray to see if my rib is indeed broken, but that should happen today. Also, I am feeling much better, so maybe it is just a muscle sprain. I am supposed to give an art lesson and lecture to about 15 international diplomatic women tomorrow, and the venue is outdoors, but covered. The weather forecast, after many days of a major heat wave, is predicting thunder storms. So, it might be a very unusual and interesting experience. The whole adventure is a new and a bit daunting thing for me. But I am taking peoples advice to stay busy in the first year after Yaakov's passing. It has been 7 months now. Also, I finally succeeded in getting my spelling checker to work. Hooray! I am very computer challenged. But I have the excuse that I am old. 😊

The Two step Plan for Gaza

 Dry Bones Golden Oldie, by Sali the LSW. (Long Suffering Wife) Here is a Dry Bones cartoon from 2011. It looks like we are now seeing lots of factions fighting each other in Gaza theses days. And international peace keepers understandebly not wanting to get involved in the mess. The crazyness goes on and on over years and years.

I might not be posting as much for a while. I stupidly laid on a hard foam roller in the wrong spot at the gym and seemed to have cracked a rib. So it is a bit harder to move around, and I have just started teaching painting to a couple of small groups after many years of not doing that. My schedule is getting crowded, and now adding a few doctor appiontments.

Religious News

 Dry Bones Golden Oldie, by Sali the LSW. (Long Suffering Wife) Here is a cartoon from 2012

I have been asked to create a donate button denominated in Israeli Shekels for those who live in Israel. So here it is. I will eventually become an expert at the crazy ins and outs of PayPal, I hope.
Also, When I made the new donate buttons, I accidently did not uncheck the box that asks for your address. So sorry about that added trouble for you to put it in. I don't use it or need it. But I am afraid to go back and mess with things while these new buttons seem to be working. Thank you so much to all of you who have donated and also helped me trouble shoot these PayPal links.

Israeli Traffic Signs, a bit of humor

Dry Bones Golden Oldie, from 1975 by Sali the LSW. The lighter side of Israeli Traffic Signs. A few people have asked for this old classic from way way back. You can click on the cartoon to see the whole thing larger.



I have also been asked to creat a donate button denominated in Israeli Shekels for those who live in Israel. SO here it is, so far, it seems to be working. I will eventually become an expert at the crazy ins and outs of PayPal, I hope. (I didn't make it smaller yet.)

Freedom, Here and There

Dry Bones Golden Oldie, by Sali the LSW. This cartoon is from October 2020. It was called, Here and There.

I was going to post a very non political cartoon today, a golden oldie about Israeli traffic signs that I thought would be nice as light hearted fun, but I came accross this cartoon while I was looking, and decided to put this up instead. Maybe next time for the traffic signs.

Also, I think that after hours of frustrating work, I have succeded in getting the donate link to work. I even put a little Shuldig face on the donate box. So, if you have been trying to donate and not able to, please try out this new link. https://tinyurl.com/3xmbc4mp

Wishing everyone a great weekend and a safe and joyful Shabbat Shalom. Blessings to you and your families and loved ones.

Newer:Kristallnach today also, plus the UN resolution that Zionism is Racism anniversary

  Dry Bones Golden Oldies by Sali, the LSW.

Kristallnach was a 2 day event, so today is also the anniversary. And also, today is the 50 year anniversary of the UN resolution 3379 equating Zionism with Racism.  It is so sad and very depressing at the state of the world regarding Israel. Things that we thought would change for the better, did not. And these old Dry Bones cartoons still have meaning. 

Also, by the way, a fan and frequent donor has let me know that the donate link does not work.  Dry Bones has not gotten any donations for a while now (except for you wonderfel people who have made re-occuring monthly donations,) so maybe that is the reason. I have made a new link that works. It is not as short as the old link, but I am not as good at this stuff as Yaakov was. So please, if you have some spare funds, consider donating to the Dry Bones Blog. Yaakov did not have any life insurance, and we have and had no property, no apartment or car. He cared a lot more about trying to save the Jewish People, than about making us comfortable. He was a true idealist. However, if you are short of funds yourself, or have a more needy cause, don't over burden yourself. This is a time of year, when many people are in dire need, But... in any case, here is the new donate link that is very long 

https://www.paypal.com/donate?token=2XPWol9j1oxjfC7PKMd0ExLsCNvVmfSM-NZsz0o62E7quxneBqTbcX-pnzIMOPhrp29loSN3zIRcKfcn


It looks like the link that I just sent is also not working. Here is an update. It is ok so far, Please bear with me, an old lady struggling to deal with the modern computer world

and here is a cartoon from April of 2011


The burial of the body of Hadar Goldin who was abducted and killed by Hamas in 2014 will be tomorrow morning, in his home town and my hometown also of Kfar Saba. Israel still waits for the remaining 4 more hostage bodies to be returned.
