In Hebrew, "Motzaei Shabbat"
literally means The Leaving of the Shabbat. Shabbat is a day of rest, but since
it is Holy, it is treated like a queen, thus a person, and at sundown, it
leaves until the next week on Friday night when Queen Shabbat returns.
In our city, the Shabbat was peaceful. We walked a little, slept a bunch, ate periodically,
talked a lot, and read the bible. I
started to read the bible sometimes ago in Genesis 1:1 on my way chapter by
chapter, as a novel, and today I arrived at Jeremiah 32.
As in Genesis 18:14, so does in Jeremiah
32: 27 The Lord declares, "Is there anything too hard for me?"
I have to believe that. When rockets are navigated against children
schools, kindergartens and little girls birthday parties; when Molotov Cocktail
bottles are thrown at civilian cars driving on an open road; when videos filmed
and directed to make the world think that our young men are animals; when each
city where Israeli Arabs and Jews have lived in the same neighborhoods for over
60 year in a relative peace, are turning into fire traps, I have to believe
that God will sort it out.
Israeli Jews are being attacks from North
to South tonight. The second day from 40
days of the Ramadan Fast was over tonight when Queen Shabbat left. As Saturday Night arrived, the food was
consumed for the evening meal of the fast and the Muslims did not abide by the
cease fire but attacked the civilian Jewish population from the inside.
186th Day of Praise -
God, there is nothing too great for you;
there is nothing you cannot do; please bring peace to Jerusalem and to Israel
and please protect your people.
Extremely sadden,
Orith
