Guest Post by Kara

 From my friend and neighbor, Kara, who sums up the current situation better than my Pesach-cleaning brain can:

---------------------
Clean out the cabinets for Pesach, but make sure you’re stocked with food for 3 days.
Don’t watch the news, but keep an eye on Iran.
Keep your kids safe, but draft your son tomorrow.
Make your summer tickets, but don’t plan too far ahead.
Send your kids to Jerusalem on the bus every day, but watch out for Ramadan terror attacks.
Bring the hostages home at any and all cost, but absolutely no ceasefire with Hamas.
Attacks are imminent, so store your passports and stock your safe rooms, but don’t panic.
Talk to your kids about what’s happening, but not too much.
Finish Hamas, but also pull the army out of Gaza almost completely.
Strike Lebanon on the daily, but don’t go to war.
Take care of your mental health, and don’t stay stuck inside, but don’t go too far from home.
Celebrate our Exodus from Egypt, but also your GPS says you’re in Cairo.
-----------------------

My son went into the Army last Wednesday.


Too many emotions to describe.
Love.
Pride.
Fear.
Duty.
Pride.
Separation.
Honor.
Pride.
Love.
Hashem should bless and keep all of our soldiers safe. Physically, emotionally, healthy in body and spirit.
Sruli, Yisrael, named for the land that has always had my heart, we love you and are so incredibly proud of you, and are with you every step of the way.

Blessing him before he leaves

Shabbat Shalom
