Hilary Clinton -to visit Israel

Hilary Clinton is set to visit Israel. Curious what will be said behind closed doors.  Definitely NOT going to be anything like Glenn Beck's message, but we can hope...



I like that the Iron Dome is called the Iron Dome, in Hebrew its the " Iron Kippah" (kippat barzel). Here's a video of this kippah at work...



The Jewish people are one of the few people who actually have a deed to the land, a document that says Israel should be ours. Something like that can probably make many "take over" nations hate us and want us gone for how can they look at the people that lived in the land before them with a serious face?

Nevertheless, if we do not keep our side of the bargain, than what good is that document.  We have to keep Shabbat, eat kosher, and do the mitzvot and celebrate the festivals so that we can claim Israel.

Preparing for Shabbat

.

.
Preparing for Shabbat is no small feat. Everyone rushing to the stores, buying groceries, stores closing early so that the workers can get home and start preparing. Then there is cooking. Lots of lavish dishes, its like putting your best cook-foot forward for the occasion.

So, its this time -just before Shabbat- that my gas canister decides to finish!!!

I don't think I can buy a new gas canister. Boy, times like these I miss having a convenient gas company that just pumps gas into our homes. Now I either have to decided if I want to infringe upon my neighbor and use one (or two) of her stove range if she lets, or just bake everything.

Most of the cooking is done already, thank goodness.
