| … where there just aren’t enough hours in the day, minutes in the hours, time to catch you breath and get everything done? Forgive me for sharing that with you but it’s just one of those weeks… Maybe coming off of the Passover holiday where this country shuts down and no bread is to be found or it might just be that spring is in the air. Either way, I’m drowning in the details. So bear with me while we look at the links below, highlighting Israel and our world in the past few days. You’ll find some international stories, alongside some very worriesome antisemitic events, including the horrific shooting in California, and the Rabbi’s inspiring message following.I hope you will be as uplifted as I was, and encouraged to do more. With that, I wish you a wonderful rest of the week, with kindness and understanding, and the drive to keep at it, no matter how cumbersome the details.Best regards from Israel! Ruthie |
