Kever Rachel--Not So Simple

For the past few years, ever since Barak's reign of terror, the politicians and security forces have forced us to travel to Kever Rachel in bullet-proof vehicles only.  That is until a few short weeks ago.  Now regular motorized vehicles, not bicycles, are allowed.
Women's Private Prayers and Psalms at Tel Shiloh will be before Yom Kippur, Tuesday, October 7, the 8th of Tishrei, at 9:45

Yesterday, my Shiloh friends and I took, what we hope will be our last bullet-proof busride to Kever Rachel.  It's not just that we're happy that the place is more accessible, it's also because our bus and lots of other buses was forced to wait, while private cars had easy access.

Our bus wasn't very full, and in the end we found rides in other vehicles, including an empty bus going in to bring out others. But there was a very full bus from the Shomron, which was forced to wait a long time.

When we finally got there we saw a couple of hundred people, mostly students, waiting for their buses to take them out.  It wasn't crowded inside, and although the gate was open, it used to be kept locked, the fortress smelled, and it was not pleasant.

They didn't open the back exit, which would have made it easier to breathe. There are restrictions, according to Jewish Law, about praying in a stinking place.  I don't know when I'll be back there, but the Women's Private Prayers and Psalms at Tel Shiloh will be before Yom Kippur, Tuesday, October 7, the 8th of Tishrei, at 9:45; meet at the Tabernacle Gallery Cafe.  For more information about touring Tel Shiloh, call 02-994-4019.

Shabbat Shalom U'Mevorach

Knock! Knock!

Who's there?

I wonder who writes the politicians' speeches. I'm still trying to find out who wrote Bush's Knesset speech. My guess is that Elie Wiesel was heavily involved.

Now, Peres just said something profound and truthful and so obvious. I've been saying it for a long time.

Peres: We Uprooted Communities, the Arabs Kept Bombing

Now, who in his/her right mind would have expected any other result? I guess the Foreign Ministry's preparation for the new UN Ambassador was rather faulty, too:

New Israeli UN Envoy Shocked by Welcome for Ahmadinejad

Knock! Knock!

What Could Be Worse Than Tzipi At The Helm?

Tzipi Livni is a classic case of Peter's Principle, but Ehud Barak is even worse.

Never forget the rampant Arab terrorism, which began during Ehud Barak's reign as Prime Minister.

I've lived in Israel since 1970, and never has there been a worse time, when innocent Israeli citizens were terrified to leave their homes. It took a couple of years after he was quickly, but not quickly enough, booted out of office for things to calm down.

We need new elections now!

The only problem is deciding whom to vote for!!!
