all's well. over. 2.10.24
We spent the morning checking on relatives and friends. So far all’s well, but considering the fact that civilian targets all over the country were attacked in two very violent waves. Down in our shelter we heard the booms with great noise and trembling. Some of our younger neighbors were paralyzed with fear, but the old people who managed to get down to the shelter were almost blase’ – following the news with whatever internet access they could achieve…
I need to add that about half of the people in the shelter were Arab.
Hello Karen,
We had reconnected some years back, and I was so thrilled to read your poetry, journal, and all your unfiltered thoughts. You are a gem, and I just wished to say that I feel devastated, today, to have seen (online) bombs falling above the Western Wall. Because Tel Aviv is being hit so hard, I pray for you continually. Thank you for keeping me updated. I remember you with much love and admiration. May Hashem keep you safe!
