{{blog}} {{comment|September 22nd}}

Our week was spent climbing slowly back to “normal”. Now we can taste and smell, and my fatigue has dissipated. Esther’s about at 90%, I’m probably at 85%. That, right there, sums up our entire week.

Sure, Esther worked and so did I. We did some gardening (more than we should have done, certainly). I did further cleanup in the back in preparation for ''sukkot''. But that’s really it.

I did start trying to get some serious “learning” in, as we just started a new (Jewish) year and all. I’m working my way (very, very, slowly) through the [https://www.sefaria.org/texts/Talmud/Yerushalmi “Yerushalmi”] comparing with the [https://www.sefaria.org/texts/Talmud/Bavli “Bavli”]. I’ve managed about one page, so far; it’s going to take me quite a long time…

Including encryption keys and passwords, no big deal. I remember my first hard-disk was a measly 20MB — this is 2 ''million'' of those disks…

The Israel Police have said [https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/defense-news/article-759794 we should carry guns] on Yom Kippur (if we’re licensed to carry, that is). With all due respect: I would be unable to properly pray if I had to lug along 2kg of weaponry and accoutrements with me. It would be uncomfortable as well; not to mention the “biggy” of not being allowed to “carry” on Y”K.

Yes, I know, I know! We “have an [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eruv ''eruv''”]. Pardon me for disagreeing, even in principle, with that statement (if you’re interested in my reasoning, [mailto:ron@ronware.org?subject=eruv you can ask me] to elucidate). Regardless: if the situation is so dire that “everyone” should be armed, I prefer to stay at home where I can, at least, concentrate on the prayers.

We’re mostly back to being able to taste! We’ve been invited out for one meal. For the rest we’re going basic:
<br>
homemade ''ḥalla'',
vegetable chili',
cauliflower ''kugel'',
various ''salatim'',
and chocolate-chip cookies.

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