A Light unto the Nations, a Passover Deal

 A Light unto the nations, a Passover Deal. Dry Bones cartoon from 2007. Happy Passover!

Here in the center of the country, yesterday, we went all day without a siren or missiles. But then in the middle of the night we had two, and already this morning we have had two. While the north is under almost constant bombardment, and the south is almost as bad. The quiet is almost more disconcerting, as one is always waiting and alert. It is a very strange time that we are dealing with. But unfortunately not new for the Jewish people. But most of us are holding up fairly well to the tension, and trying to go about our daily lives as much as possible. I feel that we really are "A Light Unto the Nations"

Wishing you a Chag Pessach Sameach, A Very Happy Passover to all!

and a very Happy Easter Holiday to all of our Christian friends!

Wishing you health and happiness, prosperity and peace.

A Simple Truth

 Here is a Dry Bones Golden Oldie cartoon from 2015. Today, so far, we have had fewer missiles raining on us. I hope this situation continues and gets better. But we haven't heard from the Houthis yet. 

 I was reminded of this cartoon by David Singer, a very good commentator on the situation from Australia, and has been a loyal fan and user of Dry Bones cartoons for many years. He has a website worth looking at which is at www.israelrights.com

Wishes for health and happiness and prosperity and peace to all.

Happy Purim tonight! Raining Missiles

 Wishing you a Happy Purim! Purim starts tonight (Sunday) and we are fighting Persia (Iran) again. Here is a Dry Bones cartoon from 2013 by Yaakov Kirschen. Enjoy!

It is indeed significant that we, in Israel are now dealing with a rain of missiles from Iran during Purim.

I slept in my shelter room last night as the sirens were blasting missile warnings every 10 to 30 minutes for a while. It was actually pretty comfortable as my shelter is also my art studio room. I have a small, thin mattress that is actually good for my back, and the floor is covered with cardboard to protect it from my paints, but it is also great insulation from the cold stone floors that we have here in Israel. I was woken up by each siren and the app on my phone, but I didn't have to actually get up and change rooms, or go down to a basement or stairwell shelter, or out to a big public one like many people. I am very blessed. I have seen on Israel TV lots of interviews with people using the new underground lite rail stations in Tel Aviv as comfortable shelters. We are strong and resilient.

Happy Purim!

Wishes for health and happiness and prosperity and peace to all.

Miracles

Here is a Dry Bones Cartoon by Yaakov Kirschen from 2009, almost 20 years ago. Miracles. It looks like we might be needing more soon. Here in Israel, we expect that we will be at war again within a week or so. Everyone is very calm, but prepared. There is the tension of waiting, and I (for one) am not looking forward to the sirens and the sleep deprivation again. It is especially hard and stressful on the children. But still, I feel that Israel is the safest, place for Jews in these times of crazy and weird antisemitism. It is interesting that this is all happening around Purim.  

Wishes for health and happiness and prosperity and peace to all.
