The war drags on, antisemitism is back to stay, it isn’t easy getting used to. One friend was telling me about other Jews who parrot the lines of Hamas – I guess they feel that by feeding the crocodile they will be saved – they won’t.
There was an awful event in downtown LA, a ‘Jewish’ group shut down the the 110 freeway on a busy Wednesday morning. they are Jews, one of the organizers is the daughter of a nice Jewish family we know. I have no idea if the parents are proud of her. When I put quotation marks around Jewish – it is because – those who remove themselves from the community – are out.
I was proud to see Angelenos getting out of their cars and fighting and trying to pull the bastards off the freeways. LAPD arrested 75, I’m sure Gascon just gave them a medal and let them go. What really saddens me is that these honorable Angelenos will now be antisemitic – because these awful people called themselves Jews. Yeah, some of the worst people around call themselves Jews – but guess – Hamas will happily kill them as well.
7th night at home with a home cooked meal. Just the two of us.
8th night, back with friends. The fire was lit by one match by Sholmo. A former boyscout from Israel. It wasn’t too cold, having the fire meant we stayed outside longer.
Laughing with friends, something that is even more important right now.
Lighting the final night, all eight candles.
Time to put the menorah away, and just put out flowers. Yes I do like all the reflections we see here.
Most of the flowers are from the market, the bright pink is a geranium from my garden.
Also, the bright red berries are from my garden. So now, instead of a menorah, the flowers and I think the stars will stay out until the new year.
95% Done!!! at this point I just want it finished, I’m not enjoying the stitching anymore. I just want it to be over, and it almost is!
