Sharing a very important message I received via email today from Combatants for Peace, an organization composed of former Israeli and Palestinians fighters who have laid down their arms:

"Our hearts break as we witness the violence unfolding in Israel and Palestine.

We wept and watched in horror as Palestinian militants killed hundreds of Israeli civilians and kidnapped innocent women, children, and the elderly. We now hurt and grieve as the lives of so many innocent Palestinian civilians are taken in Gaza. As politicians stoke the flames of hatred, violence, and division, it is the innocent that suffer. For our movement of Israelis and Palestinians, the pain is unbearable. And yet, no matter what, our activists’ commitment to one another and to a nonviolent future of peace and freedom for all is unwavering.

This is HILARIOUS! Imagine if people put up lawn signs in front of their SUKKAH like they do in front of their HOUSE. What are some of the things you think they might say? 🤔

SHABBAT SHALOM!

Think this may be bad sunburn that's taking over a month to heal. I'm diabetic. However sunburn on other arm healed a few weeks ago, so it might be rash/infection. Been putting aloe, honey on it. Should I go see doctor? Doesn't hurt, itches/stings.

Wow!

James Webb telescope makes 'JuMBO' discovery of planet-like objects in Orion

Jupiter-sized "planets" free-floating in space, unconnected to any star, have been spotted by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).
What's intriguing about the discovery is that these objects appear to be moving in pairs. Astronomers are currently struggling to explain them.
The telescope observed about 40 pairs in a fabulously detailed new survey of the famous Orion Nebula.

Watched "Anne of the Thousand Days" today, mostly to finally see Geneviève Bujold in more than just her brief Nicole Janeway #StarTrekVoyager scenes. Funny how she played a character replacing a Catherine only to be replaced by somebody playing a Kathryn 25 years later...😅

In #Copenhagen, even the #sukkah has gone GREEN! Check out this sukkah bike! A sukkah WHERE you need it, WHEN you need it, with a ride as Earth-friendly as the sukkah itself.

Can someone who knows Danish tell me what “God Sukkot” means? Is it saying that spending time in the sukkah is spending time with God?

New York Attorney General Letitia James said in a short statement Monday morning, "My message is simple: No matter how powerful you are, no matter how much money you think you may have, no one is above the law."

No matter how much money YOU THINK YOU MAY HAVE, no one is above the law.

Chef's kiss.

First #opera of the season! Glorious NABUCCO at the Met tonight. Chorus are effing heroes - this is a very heavy chorus opera and they're ALSO doing the Verdi Requiem. Yes, like any good Jew, I shed a few tears during "Va, pensiero".Cast fantastic, and I definitely want to hear more of tenor SeokJong Baek, who made his debut tonight as Ismaele. #classicalmusic
