israeli politics, my life in tel aviv,

Usually we meet friends or family to break the fast.  This year I’m in bed watching tv – especially programs about the war.  The entertainers who risked life and limb to entertain the troops during the yom kippur war.  Surprisingly, it is fascinating.  I knew it when it was happening – although I don’t know how.  From Leonard Cohen to Danny Kaye, from Yardena Arazi to Aliza Kashi – there were so many of them witnessing horrors, experiencing bombings, kissing and hugging soldiers who wanted only clean socks and underwear. 

I have to find something to help me forget those bombings.
