The greatest show on earth – we can’t take our eyes off the tv, but we’re not at the square where the families wait for the captives.  So we’re cooking.  But all kinds of fancy salads and soup and kubbe to go with the cholent.  The kids probably won’t eat the complicated food, not the cholent, not the haminados, not the cabbage, but the shnitzel is the backup.  Strawberries for dessert. Sandkuchen for the old people, like Ezi.

Once the rest of the captives are home, we can begin to return to life. le’chaim.
