Shabbat Shalom

B"H

Not that I didn't enjoy Sukkot but I was also glad when it was over. I probably just had an overdose of "haredi society" and needed a break. :-)
When Israelis started asking each other how their Sukkot went many said:
"Avar - It went by !"

The Toldot Aharon Rebbe David Kahn is planning on special (prayers) gratitude this Shabbat, as the incident happening last Simchat Torah, where a young Haredi threw explosives into the Toldot Aharon Synagogue, turned out to be a "miracle".
As soon as the explosives went off, the Chassidim thought that an Arab terrorist had entered. People ran around in panic and due to all the pushing from climbing down the metal benches, some Chassidim were injured.
In the end, it was not a Pigua (bomb attack) and the Toldot Aharon claim it as a miracle.

Hot, Hot, Hot - is the weather forecast for Shabbat Bereshit.
34 degrees Celsius in Jerusalem (about 90 something Fahrenheit).
We are still waiting for rain but, at least, already were facing a few drops.

This afternoon, I am going to make my way to Jerusalem. Fall and winter make the Shabbat coming in earlier due to the early sunset. This means that Fridays are a rush. Rushing to the bus, to shop, to plan.


"Shabbat Shalom - Gut Schabbes" to all readers and find yourself a good air condition.:-)
