What could I have to worry about, you ask?

Well, there are the problems I can’t solve – like Iran’s multiple attacks on us – in the air, cyber, sea, etc.  Attacks so persistent and aggressive they will succeed in some way at some time to disturb our lives.

Then there’s another problem i can’t succeed in solving – the Palestinian issue.  I can state my opinion and do what I can to alleviate the situation, but that’s all.  So personal attacks on me as an Israeli are painful, but can’t do any good,

What about whether God exists or not?  Can I solve this question/  Well, that one is much easier.  I choose to believe in a Being and I hope that Being believes in me and my attempts to live worthy life.

Problems I really can’t solve – 1. children and grandchildren.  All I can do is cook and invite and listen and pay and go when I’m invited.

2. My computer and it’s relationship to the university.  Maybe I’ll finally get to ask the right questions when I talk to them on Sunday, 

3. My parents’ Yahrzeit/  Of course I observe it.  They passed away on the same day within two years of each other.  I think about them much of the month of November, they miraculous lives, their escapes, their dedication to others, their very tragic deaths.  But I’m far from their graves, from any one who remembers or cares about them.  It is of course the problem of any person who lives far from where he grew up, but I think about it more right now because a friend is dying far away from his family, who too are spread around the world, and the big question is – where will he be buried?  Who will win the opportunity of visiting his grave?

So I have gone from the general to the specific, but all of them are problems….
