Shalom and Blessings;
Like it is not bad enough that Israel's virus infection rate climbs every day; that the country is in a lock-down and that we are heading for financial disaster with a 19% unemployment rate (up from 3.5% before the virus), but we are also in political chaos! The country has gone mad and our politicians are more interested in their own political gains than they are in the political welfare of the country and its people. I am not going to go into too much detail about what is going on, other than to say that it is like we are reliving the rebellion experienced during the Exodus from Egypt; interesting that it is all happening just before Passover.
Would you believe it? In addition to the stress everyone is experiencing from the Corona Virus pandemic, we have been hearing explosive booms coming from the direction of Gaza. Our curiosity was aroused because we had not heard of any IDF action in the area nor were there any Red Alerts. Then we read that Hamas was doing training exercises and the testing of weapons near the border. Plus the other day a group of Arabs, in a terror attack, hurled rocks at Israeli vehicles as they were driving along the highway in the West Bank. One terrorist was shot dead by the IDF when he refused to stop, another was wounded and the others managed to escape, hopefully they will be apprehended.
Hi everyone…Ellen here to give a more personal view of what it is like in our current situation. First of all our prayer life has been transformed. Rabbi and I begin and end our days with worship and unbridled prayer times…what a blessing! Secondly ladies our home has never been cleaner. I've added white vinegar to our laundry and just a droplet of bleach into my floor cleaner and wow what a difference. As we are utilizing our pantry to its fullest I can say cooking has taken on new dimension. We are not purchasing many fresh veggies "online" because of their shelf life. I have been blessed with an enhanced ability to elevate frozen veg, (chuckling to myself). Our life and mealtime has taken on a minimalist but blessed characteristic as never before. Why not let us know how you are faring in these challenging times. We are praying for you all and thank the Lord Most High for blessing us with you!
