DAY 755

 STILL AT WAR            

IDF is still fighting on 7 fronts. In the air, on land and on sea.

The ceasefire was broken by Hamas in less than 24 hours. Yet, Israel's allies are forcing their kind of peace and pushing Israel into a losing position and to give up land.  After two years of seeing God's miracles, it makes no sense. This forced peace will not bring about a solution. Not a military solution to the Middle East, nor a solution for Israel and the Jewish people. Doesn't the rest of the world recognize Israel's victory and God's miracles? 

With heavy hearts, we watch yet another action by our allies against Israel and like many others in the past, this too is going against God, His people, and His land. 

Not a solution at all; Our young people are still on the 7 fronts. The war intensified. 

Alongside the IDF, the spiritual army fights - these are our Prayer Warriors. 

I have the privilege of belonging to a few international groups that pray and bless Willie and me, as well as pray and bless Israel. I met thousands of Warriors from every continent.  

Due to a recent fall, I requested personal prayers for healing. They prayed. Last night, 7 weeks after the fall, a Canadian couple phoned us.  At the time of my request, he was ill on deathbed's door. Yet, they continued to pray for us.

God healed us both. We both declare our healings. 

Yet, I always question God.

You see, I'm still in great pain. I could not get out of bed this morning until much later than my appointed time. I don't know if my friend also has a residual condition. We stand on the promise of Yeshua, that by His stripes we are healed. 

God gave me a dream last night.  I woke up understanding that while a wounded soldier returns to the front with his wounds healed, he can still experience residue. So are the spiritual soldiers who are wounded. While we are healed by the Word of God and His promises, we might physically suffer from some leftover condition. 

Because while we were down and being healed, the war intensified, so our presence is required. 

Our committed young people are back at the 7 fronts, air-land -sea, and we pray that they will return home alive without wounds.  

We, the thousands of prayer warriors across the globe, are also returning to the front. Yes, the war intensified, and now we have added to our prayers the persecuted Christians around the world, on every continent, who need protection and safety and, like Israel, recognition of their existence and rights to live as they believe. 

Day 755 to Hamas atrocities.  

The war on land and the war in the heavenly intensified. 

Psalm 137: 1-6

By the rivers of Babylon,
There we sat down, yea, we wept
When we remembered Zion.
We hung our harps
Upon the willows in the midst of it.
For there, those who carried us away captive asked of us a song,
And those who plundered us requested mirth,
Saying, “Sing us one of the songs of Zion!”

How shall we sing the Lord’s song
In a foreign land?
If I forget you, O Jerusalem,
Let my right hand forget its skill!
If I do not remember you,
Let my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth—
If I do not exalt Jerusalem
Above my chief joy.

DAY 738

 SIMCHAT - TORA - 5786            


The joy of the Tora. The Joy of Moses 5 Books of the Law.  The last day of reading the Tora and starting from Breshit - Beginning the Book of God that He gave to Israel. 

The day 20 hostages arrived alive and 4 arrived in coffins, waiting for 24 more to arrive in coffins, Hamas says that they don't know where the bodies are. 2000 of their worst criminals were freed from Israeli prisons right into Gaza. 

Among the live hostages that came home were husbands, sons, and fathers. One man arrived, unknown to his family - they thought he was murdered on October 7th, 2 years ago. Unbelievable happiness.

One man did not arrive.  His mother committed suicide. One man waited for his wife to return, but she was murdered, and he too committed suicide.  These are the cases I saw on the net, I am sure there are many more who lost their all.

So the whole assembly of those who had returned from the captivity made booths and sat under the booths; for since the days of Joshua the son of Nun until that day the children of Israel had not done so. And there was very great gladness. (Nehemiah 8:17)

What now?

After some countries voted in the UN for a Palestinian State, Israel answered Britain with two words, "Game over".  The British pound went down faster than a rocket. Israel supplies intelligence and information to most of Europe, so they just turned off the faucet. 
The political landscape of Europe and the Middle East is undergoing significant changes. The global relationships are moving, like the Earth's plates are rocking into an earthquake.  We feel these movements strong and fast over here in the middle of the earth, in Israel. 

The spiritual forces are changing as well.  Time is coming close to the line-ups of who is backing up God and who is on the side of satan.  Churches are teaching different gospels and are not backing up the believers across the world who are murdered and slaughtered for being Christians. China, for example, decreed that Christian gatherings are illegal. Other countries do not use their armies or police forces to protect the attacked Christians. 

Charlie Kirk's murder sparked thousands around the world to believe again and to attend churches (Jesus) and synagogues (God the Father).  They, too, are entering an era of debates.

A New World Order is in the making, and its completion is just around the corner. Are you ready?

If you think it will come after you die and you will not have to go through the future confusion, where are you going after death? You need to decide now; you cannot change it once you are dead. 
Get a Bible from Genesis to Revelation - good timing, we're just starting to read the Torah again.
 
Pray that God will open your eyes to Him and to Truth; He will. 

For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.  (Matthew 7:8)

DAY 728

 Nahariya, Israel   11 Tishri 5786



Joshua 25:14

 “Now fear the Lord and serve him with all faithfulness. Throw away the gods your ancestors worshiped beyond the Euphrates River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord.  

Almost 2 years to the war. 

Most Israelis know that "it'll be fine in the end. If it is not fine, it is not yet the end".

I come to the place where I believe in no one and nothing.  If it is in the bible, it is truth; if not, it could be anything from AI to fantasy.  

The Prime Minister of Israel's job has to be the worst, the least appreciated, and the hardest job that there is.  It takes a dedicated and brilliant person to do it day and night, who keeps focused on the vision for this nation.  We pray for him daily.

Sons of Jacob, Children of Israel, The Jews, were plucked from slavery and thrown into the desert to become a free nation. A generation that walked in the sand was only the beginning. We, 3,000 years or so later, are still "finding ourselves" individually and as a nation. (According to biblical chronology, some religious scholars place the Exodus from Egypt around the year 1312 BCE or 1446 BCE, but there is no definitive or scientifically agreed-upon date.)

It seems that neither the nation of Israel nor the nations of the world are willing to accept the change. We often look at others seeking to be "like the other people" while they don't want to accept that we exist as a different nation - a free people - with our own unique purpose.  We are the people of the Book, the people of God, the One that He loves, we are Jews, free in Israel, our promised land, and have a God Given right to exist. 

While we expect other nations to recognize us as a free people, a Jewish nation living free in Israel, we forget that we need to accept ourselves. We not only need to say, but also acknowledge and believe that we are a free nation under God. 

The continual friction between the religious and the secular is only one such conflict that is based on trying to understand what the first and most important command looks like in practice:

  • "I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. You shall not have other gods beside me"(Exodus 20) 
Our entire culture is based on "Pilpul"- debates - and our Knesset with 13 political parties at this time, with as many as 100 at one time or another, just an example of that cultural base. It is a part and parcel of us, debates and questions and answers. It is no wonder we have an issue with accepting God in daily life. But somehow, we need to accept the fact that without Him, we are not a nation. His purpose and sovereignty over us is the core of our being. 

As for other nations,.... well, the last page of the bible tells us of a world that knows Him. Thus, we have a hope and a future. 

Joshua 25:15 But if serving the Lord seems desirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”                                 As we pray for our PM daily, we also pray for our nation daily, which is essential for the existence of Israel. 

September 26, 2025

DAY 721. 26.09.2025. ד' תשרי ה'תשפ"ו

 TIME TO PRAY

 *2 Chronicles 7:14*

14 if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
*דברי הימים ב'*
יד וְיִכָּנְעוּ עַמִּי אֲשֶׁר נִקְרָא-שְׁמִי עֲלֵיהֶם, וְיִתְפַּלְלוּ וִיבַקְשׁוּ פָנַי, וְיָשֻׁבוּ, מִדַּרְכֵיהֶםהָרָעִים--וַאֲנִי, אֶשְׁמַע מִן-הַשָּׁמַיִם, וְאֶסְלַח לְחַטָּאתָם, וְאֶרְפָּא אֶת-אַרְצָם.

We are in the 10 horrible days, between Rosh HaShana and Yom Kippur. Few fast, most pray. This year, the call for prayer is touching many people who did not seem to pray before, and it is stronger than in the last few years.
Israelis are aware of the politics and the hatred that surrounds us, and we know we are alone in this war. Yes, we have a friend in Trump, but...
The disagreements in our governments and the lack of unity are not helping us to feel safe.

Only God!
He is the only one who can help, overcome, and change things. We can only trust in God.
--------
The first rainstorm arrived in Nahariya yesterday.
Willie wrote: "Can you imagine 110 mm or 4.5 inches fell in Nahariya in 4 hours. This is a new record from 95mm in 1932."

Of course, our streets were flooded at 10 am, but were bone dry by the afternoon, once the rain stopped. Praise God - we need rain. I believe that we will have a huge Aliya this new year of 5786, and God gave us "a down payment" of water to remind us that He will supply our needs and the needs of the newcomers. Our Father in Heaven gives us all we need before we realize that we need it.
--------
My eyes are not improving even after almost 2 years of shots inside the eye. Also, I fell last week, on my back, in a front yard of friends, on huge stones. No broken bones, thank God, but the pain!!! Thank God He is with me and is healing me, and now I get to sleep all day long if I feel like it. The physician told me it will take a least 4 weeks, but if God wills, it'll be faster.

Thus, Willie started a part-time job - looking after me. He cooks, or buys from the local restaurants and brings food home; cleans the house; pushes me out of bed and pulls me out of chairs, when I cannot move; finds the cane, which I often misplace, and the best - he reads to me the bible out loud. All these on top of his writing of the "Daily Manna" and his weekly videos on Tuesdays, and his volunteer work in the hospital. What a guy! A wonderful gift from God.
-------
Our young people are still fighting on all fronts. Many were called again and were not given time off for the holidays. Some of my family members and some offspring of friends, who were given 2-4 weeks rest in the two years to see their little children and wives, but were on the front lines since October 8, 2023.

While Nahariya is quiet, despite being near the Lebanon border, the Northern Border still experiences intense fighting. Samariay and Judia are also exchanging fire daily, Gaza is seeing some horrendous action, and the search for the hostages is in full swing.  Two nights ago, "A drone launched from Yemen struck Eilat on Wednesday evening, wounding at least 20 people in the city’s tourist district near the Mall HaYam shopping center, Israeli authorities said.
Magen David Adom reported that at least five people were hit by shrapnel, one of them seriously. Others were treated for anxiety. All were evacuated to Yoseftal Hospital in Eilat."
------
A Canadian friend came on a tour to Jerusalem. "All Nations Convocation" is on before Succut. She called me yesterday. What a delight to see and hear an overseas friend. I thank God that He put us on her heart and praise Him for the technology.

Such communications are becoming more and more important lately. For whatever reason, more than ever, I look forward to hearing and seeing family and friends. Please keep using it.

God bless you and keep you, and may you see answers to all your prayers this New Year 5786.

DAY 711

Gaza's Beach - News today
 September 16,2025

OPEN HEAVENS.

Day 711 - since the abduction, murder, slaughter, rape, demonic actions and behaviour against innocent babies, children, women, men, handicapped and aged people took place. 

7/10/2023, was that fateful day when Hamas attacked the Nova Festival and the Kibbutzim that surrounded the area of the festivities. 

This morning, news came that the living dead that survived the dark tunnels, the hunger, the beating and the abuse were taken out to the sunlight and are being placed in front of the Hamas mansters as a human shield while IDF tanks are rolling in to clean out Gaza City.  

Out of the 251 taken, we are told that only 10-18 are still alive. One of them is a young woman. Are they using her as a human shield today?

Today, during the early morning prayer, as we cried out to God for a miracle, I felt an open heaven. I felt closer to God than I had for a very long time. I knew beyond a shadow of doubt that we are on the winning side, we are on God's side. God hears and answers, and we can expect miracles.  We prayed for and expect that the abducted who were snatched from their peaceful lives into the tunnels and their horrors, will be snatched from the hands of the enemy even today by our advancing Israeli army and will not be harmed.

We have open heavens,  God is healing and is answering with yet another of  His miracles.

Psalm 101 

1. I will sing of mercy and justice;    To You, O Lord, I will sing praises.

2  I will behave wisely in a perfect way.   

Oh, when will You come to me?

I will walk within my house with a perfect heart .

Praise God.

HAPPY CANADA DAY

DAY 627. WW3.

Misty - June 23.2025
 Yes, the media reported on talks of a ceasefire, but twice before 7 am, the sirens sounded, and we were instructed to stay in our bomb shelters longer than usual during the second warning. We're in WW3. 

It is known as "war fog."   What is in reality on the ground does not correspond 100% to what the media reports. While we were underground, here on the northern Israeli border, Beer-Sheva in the south was hit.  A civilian building was down children were killed. 

Eve, Willie's sister in law in NB, Canada, died this morning.  May she rest in peace. She will be missed. 

Willie's operation has been postponed to Friday. 

I'm trying to wake up from a drugged sleep and recover from a kidney infection.

But God is an optimist. If we look up to Him and trust that He is orchestrating all events, we will see a miracle. We've experienced and heard about it daily; there's bound to be a miracle today as well. 




June 11, 2025

DAY 613.

The flag and the angel

June 11, 2025. Nahariya, Israel.

Two days ago, we sat in the hospital waiting room, waiting to be called in. Willie is booked for surgery at the end of June. We've been circling the departments, doing the bureaucratic dance of pre-hospitalization. From my seat, I looked straight into a glass-covered room, filled with toys, where three small children played.

The three, two boys and a girl, were banging hard on the toys with much anger and strength. Despite the loud noise and their shouting, they were not reprimanded. Most of my life, I heard people say that Israeli children are misbehaving. They have no decorum or discipline. Other nations are better parents, and their children show respect. My eyes roamed around the room looking for the adults responsible for these children.

I found them.

A couple in their thirties watch the play. She had a soft look full of love, care, and inner strength. He was very tall, with a tired look and carried his gun. He must have taken leave to be with his kids at the hospital.

My eyes mist. A memory surfaced.

I was ten. The Sinai War started. My father left with his truck. His unit was one of the first to drive out and to arrive at Sharm el-Sheikh carrying supplies to the front, ensuring the army had its ammunition and food.

I did not comprehend what I saw or heard, nor the explanation of my father leaving for war. A while after he left, abdominal pain hit. My mother rushed to me, trying to understand my screaming. Looking back, I am sure the crying included more than the physical pain. By the end of the day, I was taken by an ambulance to the private Asuta Hospital in Tel Aviv.

We don't have room in the hospitals, they are full with wounded soldiers,” explained the surgeon, “We will try Asuta.”

They rushed me to the OR for an emergency appendix operation. It exploded.

Asuta is a good hospital”, said my mother to calm us both, “you were born here”.

My next memory was of my father, an Uzi hanging across his side, in soldier fatigue, visiting me in the underground bomb shelter. I was sitting on the cold, damp floor with my mother, smelling the strong, mouldy smell of the small room, hiding from the bombs. My father bent over me with tears in his eyes, “Don't cry, be a brave girl, Orith”. When I did not stop, his frustration came to the surface, “Why are you crying?” “It hurts,” I wailed, “It's my first operation”.

My mother never forgot his frustrated expectation from that time. Never forgotten, never forgiven. 

Their generation, though, grew up in Palestine, lived through 2 world wars and a holocaust. My father fought in the Jewish Brigade of the British Army in WW2, then alongside Begin soldiers against the British Mandate, then in the IDF in one war after another, as well as against the hate and rejection of all of Europe.  With all that, neither he nor his generation acknowledged trauma and wariness. They did not see the hardship their children suffered. If they did, they had no way to cope with it. They and their children had to be tough to survive. My childish trauma was pushed aside.

Willie and I stopped by the strong, sad lady as we walked out of the doctor's office. “Your husband reminds me of my father visiting me in the bomb shelter during the Sinai war. I bless you, and pray for you and your family to be covered by the love and health of God almighty”. She smiled as I teared and thanked me. When Willie and I got outside, we held hands and prayed a longer blessing over this young family, adding all the young families of our soldiers to the prayer of protection.

Besides love and patience, what else does a parent give to the fifth generation of Israelis that hears the promise, “By the time you're 18, there will be peace and you don't need to go to war again”?

Our war in modern Israel is 77 years old. At times, it is more intense, and we give it a name and use more weapons, and give more orders to larger groups of young men and women fighting for the life of our country. But in 77 years, it did not stop. Our children might not be as respectful and disciplined as those in other countries, but when it is their time, they survive. They raise their offspring, set aside the promises they were given for peace, and go to war for their country, willing to die on their land. They set aside the traumas and heartaches and survive.

We have our God, who gives the
strength of character and spirit of discipline when it is needed. We believe in God, who respects life and gives it more abundantly. We trust the God of everlasting Love and Hope. Israel will continue to be, God sees to it. Amen.


 

May 29, 2025

Day 600

God is the head of the armies. 600 is the number of wars in the Bible.


Judg. 18:11 "And there went from thence of the family of the Danites, out of Zorah and out of Eshtaol, six hundred men appointed with weapons of war."

1 Sam. 23:13 "Then David and his men, who were about six hundred, arose and departed out of Keilah, and went whithersoever they could go. And it was told Saul that David had escaped from Keilah; and he forbore to go forth."

I ask God to bring His armies back safe from the wars and the various fronts they are engaged in. 

 

May 26, 2025

597 days.

In the Umbrella
I'm finely crying. I kept strong and fighting in prayer all the time of the war. But today, the Canadian warnings broke my back, I'm crying buckets unable to do a thing.

597 days to the war. Yet, I keep thinking and feeling that it is day 601.

My Canadian friends sent me the warnings Israelis received in Canada - "hide your identity!"

My family knows about it, yet they say that they feel no effect on their lives.

The police in Toronto betrayed Jews and their supporters yesterday during a peaceful march.

(https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1LNhX7Wgwd/)

More than 1/2 of the Jewish families are mixed marriages with non-Jewish Canadians, and the current Israeli government has already refused the immigration of many of them to Israel. 

The Jews who can come seem to refuse to immigrate from Canada to Israel and are staying, facing a sure anti-Semitic hunting.

Yes, the Canadian warnings broke my heart, I'm crying buckets, unable to do a thing.

God, please protect my family and my people. 






May 13, 2025

DAY 584 SINCE OCTOBER 7, 2023.

I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY  - LIKE ONE OF MY FRIENDS WROTE TODAY, 'I AM FROZEN'. ALL I CAN DO IS PRAY, MOURN, PRAY AGAIN.

ONLY GOD CAN.  

PRAY FOR ISRAEL PRAY FOR THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE TO CHOOSE THE SIDE OF GOD SO THEY WILL NOT PERISH FOREVER. 

(I COPIED THE FOLLOWING FROM FB THIS MORNING. EDAN ALEXANDER RETURNED HOME LAST NIGHT  12.05.2025 AT 8 PM)
o

 
Hen Mazzig: “The men who held us didn’t see us as human. They tortured us for fun. Sometimes they would light pieces of paper on fire to suck up the small amount of oxygen from the tunnel.”
Tal Shoham was held captive by Hamas in Gaza for 505 days. Yesterday, he wrote his story for TIME, hoping it would help free his fellow captives, Guy and Evyatar.
“Some mornings I wake up and forget, for a split second, that I’m free.
Then I remember the silence. The darkness. The wet concrete. And the two young men who were lying beside me, deep underground, are still there. Their names are Evyatar David and Guy Dalal.
We were held together, along with Omer Wenkert, for eight and a half months in a Hamas tunnel—just 40 ft. long, less than 3 ft. wide. We slept on soaked mattresses, shared a single pita a day, and took turns whispering stories from home to keep ourselves sane. We were strangers when we entered that darkness. But we became brothers.
Time feels different now. I carry it more carefully. Because I know how quickly time can run out—and how brutal each passing day is for those still living in captivity.
I spent 505 days as a hostage held deep beneath the ground. We were watched constantly by a surveillance camera.
A bomb was planted above us, rigged to detonate if Israeli forces came too close. We were told we would be blown up if anyone tried to save us. We were threatened, degraded, and at times tortured—not treated as people, but as objects to be controlled and broken.
I am not a soldier. I was kidnapped on Oct. 7 from my in-laws’ home in Kibbutz Be’eri. My wife and children were with me. When terrorists couldn’t break open the door of our safe room, they came in through the window. They dragged me out, threw me into a trunk, and then paraded me through the streets of Gaza. For 50 agonizing days after that, I did not know if my family had survived.
Evyatar and Guy, both 22 years old, had been taken from the Nova music festival. Their friends were slaughtered around them. By the time we met in captivity, they were in terrible shape—starved, handcuffed, terrified.
For weeks, they’d been fed almost nothing. Their hands were bound behind their backs, their ankles tied, their heads covered with plastic bags. But somehow, they still had spirit. During those last eight and a half months we spent together in the tunnel, they held on.
The men who held us didn’t see us as human. They tortured us for fun. Sometimes they would light pieces of paper on fire to suck up the small amount of oxygen from the tunnel. We would choke and have to lie on the floor to avoid suffocating.
We came up with daily rituals just to remember who we were. In a place built to break us, we held each other up. We became a unit. We became family.
When I walked out of that tunnel in February, I made a vow: I would speak for those who can’t. 59 hostages remain in Hamas captivity. And every day that passes makes it harder for them to survive.
Evyatar and Guy are not statistics. They are sons. Friends. Music lovers. Gentle, funny, full of life. They deserve to walk in the sun again. They deserve a future.
I have seen the darkness. I have felt the weight of airless days, of hunger, of silence. But I also know what it means to breathe again.
Please—bring them home too. Let them breathe again.”

War Day 561 – Hostages are still in Hamas Hell.

Easter  Tradition
Nahariya, Israel.  Sunday.

April 20h, 2025     כב' בניסןה'תשפ"ה

Resurrection Day.

Happy Resurrection Day, to those who celebrate, and Happy Easter who those who keep the tradition of egg painting.

Many people are in Jerusalem celebrating with an early service in the Garden Tomb. Many watch it on the media. Many don't know about it and are going on with a new week that starts today.

The diversity of Israel is always overwhelming. Being a Holy Land to so many, and to many a place of contention. Yes, the war continues, more wounded in Gaza, and the politics of it all are still very confusing.

561 days and the hostages are still held by Hamas, which refuses all negotiations. Are any still alive?

News is not reliable, so the truth is not clear enough to report or even speculate.

I am going to strive for balance. For the next 30 days, I will be designing and sharing with others a Healthy Living program that I'm developing, balancing Spirit, Soul and Body. After all the living and trying all types of health and wellness I've done, I am putting together what worked for me and might be what works for others. We'll see.

Meanwhile, be well and go with God.

Psalm 32:7 You are my hiding place; You shall preserve me from trouble; You shall circle me with songs of deliverance. Selah.

War Day 553 – Hostages are still in Hamas Hell.

79-year-old
 

Nahariya, Israel. Shabbat

April 12th, 2025     יד' בניסןה'תשפ"ה

How can we celebrate such a holiday while 133 people are still without their freedom, still waiting to be liberated?” (The Jerusalem Post).

We are also told that 59 hostages are left in the hands of Hamas, and 24 of them are alive.

In my opinion, even 1 hostage is one too many. Especially on Passover, the holiday which commemorates the miracle of Israel coming out of slavery in Egypt to freedom.

The Pesach Seder is tonight.

I am looking forward to it, like every year. It will be my 79th Seder, and I know it will be different than all others before this one. They are never the same. Similar, but always different. Even in the same family with the same people. The traditions vary from year to year, from family to family, from Eda to Eda (community; assembly; flock), from one country of origin to another. Israelis gathered from everywhere and brought with them their private memories, different languages and their own specific cultures. Traditions of more than 2,500 years old will be celebrated tonight around tables across the world. The Seder unites us as one nation while celebrating the differences. Hard to explain, hard to accept, but still points up to the Glory of God. He is the gatherer, He is the creator of all, including the miracles of the season and the gathering of His people back to their land.

I celebrated my 79th birthday yesterday, or, according to my son, I started my 80th year.

Whatever. I don't feel older, only tired more often.

Yeshua is still my Lord and Saviour as He will continue to be so forever in this world and in the next.

I see glimpses of the next stage of our lives, and it is good. It must be my optimism. All the news points toward mayhem and disaster, but as Billy Graham used to say, “I've read the last page of the Bible. It's all going to turn out all right.”

HAPPY PESACH, EVERYONE.
