Dear Colleagues,
My son's ceremony for the completion of basic training brought me to the
far north yesterday. On the way there we saw the overwhelming pillars of
smoke blackening the Carmel area, and on the way back we passed - speeding
in the direction opposite us, all of the fire-fighting vehicles from around
the country rushing to try to help. When we returned from the long journey,
like most of you probably I watched the valiant efforts of the fire fighters
trying to squelch the flames - with about as much effectiveness as if they
were shooting it with a water-pistol. The forces of nature have reminded us
how humbling they can be.
I know what it is like to have to leave my home and feel there is nowhere to
go- during Cast Lead my Gaza-strip environed kibbutz was not a safe or
pleasant place to be. It is Hannuka, and kids are on vacation - and many of
you - like me- probably have no family in Israel so if any of my colleagues
out there need to get away from the smoke-filled Carmel area and have no
place to go, I can offer 4 beds in two rooms and clean air. (Sorry - my
house is NOT kosher - but I could get paper plates and work that one out).
The up side: if you were planning on attending ETAI< I am only 30 minutes
from Beer Sheva!
So - you know how to contact me - my house is open to you.
Wishing you a Shabbat Shalom and hoping and praying that you and your homes
are all safe.
Yours,
Adele
Laugh and the world laughs with you, snore and you sleep alone.
