Looks like the rockets are being sent from my former backyard.

Can you believe it? I just posted this then we had a night of rockets. I'll need to be more careful with what I publish!

Touching story about your grandson growing up. This was after the Israeli government removed Jews from Gaza? I remember crying as I watched this in 2005. Hurricane Katrina occurred the next day here, telling me the US had its hand in this.

This story with my grandson occurred about 10 years after we were kicked out of Gush Katif. He was three at the time. Today he is 10. I knew about Katrina but never made that connection. That is interesting.

I will bless those who bless you, and curse those who curse you. Gen. 12:3?

How goodly that your grandson is soon to be bar-mitzvahed. May Israel's borders be enlarged for the occasion! And the holy shechinah descend to bless him!

Your photos - excellent

juxtaposition of good and evil.

Psalm 37.10-13: A little while, and the wicked will be no more; though you look for them, they will not be found. But the meek will inherit the land and enjoy peace and prosperity.

The wicked plot against the righteous

and gnash their teeth at them; but the Lord laughs at the wicked, for he knows their day is coming.

Beautiful. I can’t wait to meet you and your family. I need to start reading the Hebrew Bible more. Mom read the stories to us as kids. I want to remember.
