Take time for yourself and those close to you. Time for a break! The world will be here tomorrow — really.

In Israel, when the siren sounds on Yom Hashoah - Holocaust remembrance day - everything stops. Cars on the highway pull over. People stand in the middle of the street. Nobody runs. Nobody moves. You stand. You face it. You remember together.
Not all sirens in Israel mean run. Some sirens mean stop, remember, and never forget.
As Shabbat comes in and we light the candles tonight, I am thinking of them.
The ones who didn't make it. The ones who survived and carried the weight of both. And the one survivor who walked into that room this week and put a face, a voice, a heartbeat to the Holocaust. We are running out of time to be in the same room as it.
It is on the next generations now. Not only the descendants of survivors. All of us.
We light the candles. We tell the stories. We make sure Never Again means Never Again.
Shabbat Shalom 💙

See you on the other side.
Those who've been following me for a while probably know my favorite #restaurant in #München - the #EclipseGrillbar. Fabulous #food: grilled meat or fish, vegan mezze, you name it. Selected #cocktail creations among the finest ever to taste. And such a wonderful atmosphere.
There's been an arson attack last night. Nobody has been physically hurt.
#Eclipse stays open.
You. Will. Not. Frighten. Us.
We’re good at the noise. The planning, the preparing, the being “on.” We’re good at busyness and momentum.
But the quiet after? That’s when the real feelings show up.
That’s when you process what actually happened - not what you were trying to make happen, but what actually happened.
And most of us run from it.
We scroll. Plan the next thing. Turn on the TV. Create new noise.
Because the quiet feels dangerous. Lonely. Too much.
But here’s what I’ve learned:
The quiet after is where the truth lives.
It’s where you feel what you actually felt - not what you were supposed to feel, but what you actually felt.
The noise protects you from knowing. The quiet reveals.
Sometimes it reveals disappointment, grief, exhaustion. Sometimes gratitude you didn’t have time to feel. Pride in what you did. Clarity about what matters.
The quiet doesn’t just reveal hard things. It reveals true things.
Shabbat Shalom 💙

Shabbat Shalom, friends 🤍
This marks the 30th Shabbat in a row that I’ve had the privilege of sharing your beautiful photos and messages in response to my weekly Shabbat greeting. What began as a simple post has grown into something far more meaningful than I ever imagined.
Week after week, you bring light, warmth, and connection into this space. Seeing the images you share, whether candles, tables, family moments, or quiet reflections has turned this into a truly special tradition for our community.
What started as a collection of lovely photos has become something deeper.
And as Passover approaches, I wish each of you the blessings it celebrates—freedom, renewal, and hope.
This week, perhaps more than ever, as conflict continues in the Middle East, my heart longs for a Shabbat filled with lasting peace for Israel, for the region, and for the world.
Wishing all of you a peaceful and meaningful Shabbat.
