Peace? or War?

Shabbat Shalom! It's Friday again.

 Shabbat Shalom! 

We don't know what the next week will hold for us. Things seem to be escalating with Iran, maybe. And there are whispers of Saudi joining the Abraham accords, maybe. And Israel is in the beginnings of what will probably be a very nasty political campaign with elections slated for October 27th. And America and Europe are seeing increasing anti semitism, with hatred of Israel and Jews. But in the meantime, it is good to be thankful for everyday of life and peace and health.

Here is a Dry Bones cartoon from 1982, with love, and wishes for a great shabbat from Sali

Unity on Tisha B'Av 2026

 Tomorrow, Wednesday at sunset,  Tisha B'Av begins. It is the saddest day on the Jewish calendar and is a fast day for observant Jews. All food and entertainment places in Israel will close before sunset.

Here is a Dry Bones cartoon from 2014 that celebrates our unity instead of our divisiveness on this day. I am reprinting it and the commentary here. 

Now though, we Jews are tearing each other apart, and it is so very dangerous. I am hoping that this more optimistic cartoon will be an inspiration. Love, Sali

Tomorrow, July 22 is the start of the holy day of Tisha Be'Av ("the ninth day of the Hebrew month of Av"). Tisha Be'Av commemorates the destruction of the First and Second Temples in Jerusalem and the subsequent exile of the Jews from the Land of Israel. The day also commemorates other tragedies which occurred on the same day, including the Roman massacre of over 100,000 Jews at Betar in 132 CE. Instituted by the rabbis of 2nd-century Palestine, Tisha B'Av is regarded as the saddest day in the Jewish calendar and a day which is destined for tragedy. -more

Our sages tell us that the reason for the destruction of the Temple was "Sinat Chinam" (Hebrew for the baseless hatred and divisiveness that often divides us.)

Anti Jewish - Anti Israel - Anti Semitism

I was not going to post a cartoon today, but I came across this cartoon. I have been very upset at the JD Vance interview with Joe Rogan. Yaakov and I were fans of both, but things seem to have changed with them. They both bought into the lies. I am so disappointed.  

Here is a Dry Bones cartoon from 2002. Anti Jewish and Anti Israeli sentiment is reaching newer, higher levels, it seems.

"Dry Bones Fights Back" the Book

  In these crazy times, you might love and get strength from one or more of Yaakov's books. They also make great gifts. They are on Amazon, and many are also available on Kindle.

This cartoon is from 1994 and is one of many in Yaakov's big cartoon book collection available on Amazon called "Dry Bones Fights Back" Please check it out. I think it will be very relevant to these times.

Wishing you Shabbat Shalom, blessings and love, Sali

This is what Yaakov wrote about this cartoon, and his book, "The above cartoon shows a mother helping her kid with his homework. It is taken from our book: Dry Bones Cartoons Fight Back.
I drew the cartoon back in 1994, 26 years ago.
The book is a 148-page collection of the best of my "fighting back" cartoons.

I chose cartoons that remain meaningful, but in each, alongside my signature, is the year in which I drew it. None are Politically Correct. Most are angry. But if you are a Zionist Jew or a Righteous Gentile, every page will bring you comfort in these stressful days.

Be strong, We shall overcome. The book is on sale at Amazon http://amazon.com/author/kirschen In addition to this printed book, there is also a kindle edition (and a bookshelf of other Dry Bones books)."

 Here is the cover.

and here is another cartoon from the book

Here is a link to look at the new Kindle edition. 

This 148-page collection is called Dry Bones Cartoons Fight Back.

It's now available for Kindle at only $9.98!! 

and another great book to check out is called,

M.A.D.?

 Here is a bit of humor in a Dry Bones cartoon from 2011. The Iran problem has been with us for a long time. This idea is so true of Hamas also. They knew that October 7th would lead to terrible destruction in Gaza, and they welcomed it, knowing how the world would hold it against Israel.
