Ricky Friesem had a book launch in her back yard tonight. There were more than a hundred people in the audience and they listened carefully to the translation of her book in Hebrew about the way shelter is so complex in Israel. The way someone who comes from abroad to Israel for shelter and then has to find shelter from bombs, from terrorists. Only an immigrant would know how that feels.

But we are in such limbo now – not even knowing if the corona is back, not knowing if we will be at war within a week, not knowing if we can keep Iran from nuking us, not even knowing where Sara Netanyahu is…. I didn’t want to read any more about that. So I read poems about more medical issues.
