It started off crazy. our inlaws had to cancel because the rockets were so intense. (the gefilte fish cancelled as well) We were down in the shelter most of the time.
And then the seder began, and we read about the significance of freedom, and all was quiet. But when it was time for the afikomen we were down in the shelter again, reminded of the fact that we were not free people but targets.

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 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.
