Maybe it's just the circles I move in, but...

Other than all the fuss about the delay, there's been almost zero fanfare about voting actually being open in the UK's World Zionist Congress elections.

The promotional literature made me feel like I was voting in a dramatically important contest, this damp squib of a discourse makes me feel rather the opposite.

So, all it takes is a well-placed rumour about a local innkeeper and you can spike the price of a pet-sitter anywhere.

Is this the sort of thing they write in those fetishistic 'Jewish Business Secrets of the Talmud' books?

What's the market like nowadays for a white rooster? Would the lack of a toe ding it's value quite as much?

Whenever I go for a walk, I find myself unintentionally attempting to glance in my rear-view mirror.

I feel like a turn of the century newspaper cartoon about the decline of the noble horse and cart.

Why is the return of Naftali Bennett such a popular proposition for a sizeable chunk of Israelis? One that drains support from almost every other party no less.

I try to stay positive.

I try to focus more on what being Jewish is rather than refuting what it isn't.

I try to love us more than they hate us.

But I am simply not strong enough to never let it get me down.

There's really been a decided shift in the momentum lately. It's ratcheted up to another level of intensity in the media and, evidently, on the streets.

There's a big hard sun beating down on us, and all I'm doing is screaming into the void.
