Our brethren, the whole house of Israel, who are in distress and captivity, who wander over sea and over land - may God have mercy on them, and bring them from distress to comfort, from darkness to light, from slavery to redemption, swiftly, and soon.

3 years ago an attack from Gaza killed 1200 Israelis & foreign residents, including those in 21 Israeli communities & participants in the Nova Music Festival. 251 people were taken hostage, and rapes and sexual assaults were committed.
For many years, I've put my thoughts out there onto the Internet through my blogsI'll now be posting thoughts about life, meaning, absurdity, and whatever else pops into my brain in a new Substack newsletterYou can subscribe to it here thenotoriousrav.substack.com…
Simchat Torah begins tomorrow night. Remembering the moment 3 years ago when our celebration was interrupted by an announcement that Israel was under attack from Gaza. Remembering those murdered, raped, taken captive that day. We will dance tomorrow

Loved last night's @chicagobears game, but sad that I missed the national anthem performed by a Mariachi band. Love this! youtube.com/watch?v=BrzZkhxr…
Voting may be complicated (we got redistricted for Congress), but here's a good place to find into on polling places, early voting, mail-in voting, ID requirements and more. And you can link from here to your state and county to learn more usa.gov/midterm-elections
Wishing you and yours a Shabbat Shalom. Blessings on this Shabbat Shuva, a Shabbat in which we continue the focus on improving our lives for the year ahead.

So, after learning about the performances in yesterday's Senate hearings, I want to state my respect for President Trump for supporting and working alongside Dr. Fauci throughout the pandemic and for the policies that they implemented and advised together.
Promises have been made of ending wars, yet our US, the middle East, Ukraine, and Russia are caught up in endless wars. Shabbat Shalom shows the centrality of peace in Jewish tradition. May our Shabbat inspire our leaders and those around the world to seek and pursue peace
Public Service Announcement: If you live in a state (such as the one in which I live - Florida) that doesn't have open primary elections, please remember to change your voter registration to enable you to vote in the primary of your choice (and you can change it back after)

Why can I not find Israel World Cup soccer jerseys on any of the websites that are selling international jerseys?
Thinking of those Americans who fell in wars that defended democracy and helped free people from oppression. May their memories inspire us to always stand up for human rights and dignity. Wishing you a meaningful Memorial Day
Saddened to learn of the passing of Congressman Barney Frank. May his memory be a blessing and an inspiration!
OK, taking a minute from the jokes to say: Sending support to all those who worked at @SpiritAirlines. The home office and a key hub are just minutes from my house and a lot of people are hurting. Thanks to all for doing your best and wishing you a solid future
