The ''rosh hashanah'' holiday plus ''shabbat'' were quiet, so we were able to enjoy the company of friends in relative peace. We ''were'' expecting something to happen, but nothing did, in our area.

Afterwards, we had an “interesting” week, being on tenterhooks awaiting [https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/article-823327 our response to Iranian] missiles. We keep hearing threats and counter-threats, but nothing specific. In the meantime, our forces [https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/article-824151 are reaming Hezb’allah]. Thank God!

But we most definitely do need to [https://ctc.westpoint.edu/tehrans-tactical-knockout-weaponized-pharmaceutical-based-agents/ remove the Iranian regime] from service. Not the people of Iran, who are (mostly) not our enemies. Nothing but that will ensure a peaceful Middle East; and we have to do it ourselves, it seems, because the US is no kind of real ally. If Kamalek wins, it will be the worse for us, so we need to act now.

The one-year anniversary of [https://thespectator.com/topic/black-sunday-reckoning-october-7-one-year-on/ the Hamas invasion] occurred this week (on the secular calendar). Fortunately it passed with less disturbance than we were anticipating; largely because our forces have reduced Hamas (and Gaza) very substantially, and are on very high alert.

Lots of material for thought:
* My friend’s musing [https://penamacorrespondent.blog/365-366-367/ on the “anniversary”] of well, you know.
* Sarah Haider on [https://newsletter.sarahhaider.com/p/unreasonable-rationality “unreasonable rationality”].
* Michael Malice [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wncBgMN1vJ0 interviews Matt Walsh] mostly about his new movie.
* Bari Weiss: [https://www.thefp.com/p/bari-weiss-a-year-of-revelations “A Year of Revelations”].
* Triggernometry [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpylVjt-jwQ interviews Melanie Philips]: “Israel Wants to Make This the Last War”.
* Does CBS News [https://www.thefp.com/p/does-cbs-news-know-where-jerusalem know where Jerusalem is]?
* Video of [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNB1X7UDOn8 the only casualty] in Israel from the Iranian barrage: a Gazan in Jericho. At least it was a quick end…
* No, this is not fake! UNRWA has been nominated [https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-824048 for a Nobel Peace Price]. Yes, you heard that right.

Apart from all that, we set up [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sukkah our sukkah] in the back patio. This year we expanded it a bit more, to make it more comfortable and airy, and so the “roof” blocked a bit more of the direct sunlight. It should be mighty nice, when we inaugurate it next week! We expect our guests will be thankful.

This ''shabbat'' is also ''yom-hakippurim'', so our meal-before-the-fast as well as the break-the-fast will be::<br>

and honey cake (or another cake).
<br>

Until next time,<br>
''shabbat shalom'' and ''gemar ḥatima ṭova''! <br>
