A Sukkot Miracle

 Fitting for this holiday, yesterday we witnessed a miracle tale of airline pilots, heroes, and bravery.

Here is the amazing story:

Captain Smit Machchhar an Indian pilot for Flydubai, after being repeatedly stabbed by his Omani co-pilot, managed to send an international distress signal and to unlock the cockpit door so that help could get inside.Two Israelis seated near the front fought and subdued the stabber, and one grabbed the controls and managed to bring the plane out of a steep dive, and then roused two Flyemerati pilots who were sitting further back, to come and fly the plane for a safe emergency landing in Saudi. The badly wounded pilot was saved by emergency treatment from an Israeli dentist who was on the plane. And the plane then landed safely in Saudi Arabia where passengers were given medical treatment, and returned to Israel on an El Al plane.

We don't know the reason for the attack, whether it was terrorism, or a suicide attempt, or something else.

Here is a Sukkot Dry Bones Cartoon from 2009 as we dream of Peace.

Happy Sukkot Holiday! Chag Succot Sameah!

 Happy Sukkot Holiday! Chag Succot Sameah! 

Enjoy this Dry Bones Cartoon from 2006!

As we settle in to the week long holiday, we see and feel the winter that is approaching. At least, here in Israel, the holidays are very tied to the seasons and it is strange how sharply the holidays delineate the seasonal changes of nature. 

We gather in the warmth of our culture, and and unfortunately, the storm clouds seem to be always brewing.

Thank you so much all who have donated!

Shabbat Shalom and Happy Chag Succot!

 Shabbat Shalom and Happy Succot. The holiday of Succot (or Sukkot), (or Tabernacles) starts tonight, Friday, and lasts for one week. This is a joyful holiday where we eat and sit and often sleep in flimsy temporary huts with leaf or thatch or bamboo mats for roofs, so that we can still see the sky and stars above and we are part with nature and reminded of our fragile existence. It commemorates the trek through the desert from ancient Egypt under divine protection. In Israel, it is also the Autumn harvest festival.

The whole month is filled with holidays, and almost no real work gets done. And then we finally go back to work until Hannukah in the winter.

Enjoy! Chag Sameach! from Dry Bones and Sali

and one more cartoon just for fun

Chag Sameach, First candle of Hanukkah!

Happy Hanukkah! Dry Bones Golden Oldie, by Sali the LSW. (Long Suffering Wife). Here is a Dry Bones cartoon from 2015. The first candle of Chaukkah is tonight, Sunday, Dec 14. Regarding spelling: It is very confusing that Chag (Hag) and Hannukah ( Chanukkah) are spelled so many different ways. It is because they are Hebrew words transliterated into English. So it is sometimes Ch and sometimes H, and sometimes double n, and sometimes double k, and sometimes a becomes ah. 

We Jews are a complicated people. Yaakov did a cartoon about the different spellings. I will try to find it to post this week. But however we spell it, the meaning is the same. Happy Holiday, may it bring the promise of a good year ahead full of light and laughter. May the light continue for many more years!

Thank you so much to all of you who have donated!

Wishing everyone a very happy holiday.  I am so very thankful for so much!
