i must admit it – i do love Egypt. I was overwhelmed by each minute I was there – and have been waiting to go back since the moment I left. But I also believe that every nation deserves its own home. The Egyptians with such an amazing history and a rich culture are a class of their own.

we woke to a series of alarms, ending, for the moment in time for us to gobble some cereal and say goodbye to leavening for the week. The third one came from Yemen, the second, I think, from Lebanon, and the first from Iran. This augurs a busy day ahead – and everything in the Hagada is reinforced in the sky.
This is the book about some of the Jewish elements that surprised us on a visit to Egypt. I cannot wait to return! Press the link and let me know how you like it.

The Pharoah’s Footstool – 3.31.26 Read Post »
the garages are closed for the holiday, so they won’t pick up my car until mid-april and i won’t get another pair of wheels until then. Don’t expect me out.
The worse part is that my chest hurts and reminds me of it every time i move, but it doesn’t show and actually i still can function if I need to. But i don’t want to.
In addition, I’m spooked. this accident that I could see coming but couldn’t prevent reminded me of our entire situation in the world.
and my heart hurts.

who started it? – 3.29.26 Read Post »
We smashed into a guy who ran a stop sign today, and my car fell apart. What’s more, the air bags didn’t open.
So after the pain in my chest and my neck didn’t diminish and even grew stronger during the birthday brunch for my friend, we decided to go to the hospital to see if no real damage had been done.
The tests took an hour, and the medical assistant, Aran, examined me thoroughly. But the head physician was too busy to free me to go home and that took an hour or two more.
Since then I’ve been sleeping.
what will happen when the next rocket comes? will I be able to at least go out into the hall or will I stay in bed with my chocolates?
Aran told me there was good news and bad news. The good news is that there seems to be no damage to my brain, and the bad news is that it will hurt more tomorrow. I had good news for him too, that his name is not only an honored name among the northern Druze, but also a name for a famous composer and a revered author.
