We had a very good ''sukkoth'' holiday: the widened ''sukka'' was comfortable. Our guests were able to sleep in it (poor lads!). The food was excellent. All in all, one of our more successful entrances to the holiday. Before ''yom-ṭov'', Esther and I received our new glasses; now I can actually read the fine print!

And then we left the (first day of the) holiday to hear that the profoundly evil head of Hamas, Yahya Sinwar, [https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/2024-10-18/live-updates-825098 met his maker] while we were enjoying the ''sukka''! He wasn’t taken out by some incredibly advanced technical means, nor by informants giving him away. No: he was taken out by a new recruit in the infantry, only 9 months into his service. A fitting end to that trash.

Besides our two guests (the son of a friend, and his room-mate in yeshiva), we also had cousins of mine in our ''sukka''. We barbecued, and the quantity of food we produced was a bit excessive to be honest. Still, we did what anyone would: we ate, a lot.

This ''shabbat'' we still have the one guest (son-of-friend), and since he’s a growing boy we’ll try to keep him well-fed.

The weather has been reasonably pleasant, slowly growing cooler overall. However, it’s still very hot in the middle of the day; not much we can do about that in the sukka!

This ''shabbat'' our meals will contain some or all of:<br>
baked salmon,
schnitzel,
meatballs,
roast chicken,
rice,
various ''salatim'',
and cookies.
<br>

Until next time,<br>
''shabbat shalom'' and ''moʿadim lesimeḥa''!
