Well, we're almost ready!
The supermarket looks like this:
Chana arrived at 5:45 this morning 🥴 and Percy is blissed-out with having Chana, Penina and Ilana at home.
And then there are the heartrending parts of this season this year. How has it been 514 days that so many of our people have been held hostage? These hostages are seeing their SECOND Pesach in captivity. Pray for them (we will have a
list of the hostages at each person's plate during the Seder).
If you have a moment for some further reading, I was very moved reading the interviews in the latest HaMizrachi magazine. Called "
Arba Imahot: The Stories of Four Mothers of Hostages on the Festival of Freedom", the mothers interviewed are those of released hostages Agam Berger and Romi Gonen, the mother of Daniel Perez, an Israeli Army soldier killed on October 7 whose body is still being held in Gaza, and the mother of soldier Matan Angrest, who is still being held captive (may he be released soon, please Gd).
Shabbat Shalom and Chag Sameach!
