Oseh shalom bim'romav
Hu ya'aseh shalom aleynu
v'al kol Yisrael
v'Imru Amen.
He who makes peace in High Places, He will make
peace for us and for all Israel and let us say, Amen.
(Job 25:2; end of Amidah prayer)
I've never been an overly religous person, but sometimes thoughts especially positive ones can help. As most of you know, there is tremdous conflicts going on in Israel right now, and things have gotten horedus. My dad's sister (my Doda Sharon) lives in Hafia, and her apartment was bombed yesterday. As far as we know, she's doing ok- going from bomb shelter, to bomb shelter. She refuses to come here, despite everyone in the family pleas and offers. The best we can do is hope, pray and try to stay postive. However, it's not that easy.
I was in Traverse City, when I got the call from my mom, and naturally she was upset. However, my Dad's behaviors are what really get to me. He's been really upset, and that to me... is the hardest to take.
There's been trouble there before, and things have always worked for the country and for my family. However, this time- the future does not look so bright. I can only hope and pray that our luck will continue. :/
