 This week we "celebrated" the major fast of {{wiki|Tisha B'Av}}, a day on which throughout Jewish history has been a day of tragedy.  Now a professor has declared that [http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1218104249084&pagename=JPArticle%2FShowFull the Holocaust cannot be understood] using the "old theology".  I beg to differ; and I think the "professor" does not understand Jewish thought or the Torah very well, to reach the conclusions he did.  The point of our marking the ninth of Av by fasting is to help bring us to a state of repentance, so we can ''avoid'' making the same mistakes in the future.  Burying one's head in the sand -- which is exactly what declaring, "We can't understand the Holocaust" is -- brings upon us more and worse destruction. Sorry for the depressing topic...

 On the home-improvement front: I finally borrowed a tall ladder from our neighbors, and repaired the laundry line.  It was unusable because (1) the cable was rusted and (2) vines were wrapped around the pulleys, so the cable could not be pulled.  Now I need to get more laundry line, since there wasn't enough for the job in the package I got.  Wasn't that exciting news?

-We went on a trip to [http://www.cityofdavid.org.il/ Ir David], where the recent archaeological finds from the First Temple period were made.  The place is located where the original Jebusite city which King David conquered was.  When you look around from there, you can see all the mountains around Jerusalem, just as King David described in the above psalm.  We had to descend a series of steps to get to Hizkiah's tunnel -- which was dug during King Hizkiah's time to ensure Jerusalem's water supply.  The tunnel is full of water -- at times up to our knees -- and narrow.  The amazing thing is this kilometer-long tunnel was dug from both ends simultaneously, and met in the middle.  Without {{wiki|GPS}} or modern tunneling equipment.
