Hanukkah

Half way through and have I been eating and partying, almost every night! We have one more party on the last night – will I survive all the fried food?

Even Germany, where once were the Nazi flags, now is a large menorah. Gods miracles know no end.

Ya know what would be really nice? If we could get a nice sign from the Big Boss that everything will be ok. 

If only He could reassure us that in Iron Swords (the name of the war), we are going to come out victorious. 

I mean, we know it and some of us do see signs but they’re subtle. 

A strong sign would be nice, wouldn’t it? Maybe just a head nod and a message “I got you!” 

You asked and you shall receive. 

National Geographic has just announced the discovery of iron swords in a cave in the Judean Desert as the dramatic archaeological find of 2023. 

The iron swords were hidden by Jewish rebels during the revolt against Roman empire 2,000 years ago. 

“Four ancient but well-preserved swords — found serendipitously by an Ariel University archaeologist who slipped his hand into a hole in a hidden chamber of a Judean Desert Cave — have been named the “Number-One Find for 2023” of National Geographic Magazine.”

You cannot make this stuff up. 

Thank you, Hashem. 

Your message has been received loud and clear! 

Antisemitism takes all kinds of forms. I can hear people say – but that isn’t really antisemitism. yeah it is. I never watch that show, but it just reinforces in my mind how evil the ‘entertainment industry’ really is.

this can’t be whitewashed, real vile antisemitism in my city. First of all – why did the city allow them to shut down a major thoroughfare? Second, why that location -many Jews live there (my niece among them) two very large Jewish Temples. How about the city say – sure – you can have your march elsewhere and you have to stay on the sidewalk (like they do to us Jews when we want a march to support Israel) Yes. I let a message with the useless ‘selected’ Mayor Bass – there is no human to talk to.

The family gathered for a brunch, we did light one menorah – because.

The latkes my son made where great. The Sufganiot that I bought two days earlier were not so… a little stale – which is fine, I only had one or two bites

Nice image of Erez and Aytan, he is almost done with his sufgania. Most of the coloring on this sheet was done by the adults…

the food was a hit with everyone.

We tried for a group photo – didn’t work too well, so there are just pictures of people here and there.

The opening of the gifts! Oh my.

I am so blessed to have this family to celebrate with.

Leah
