Day 6

Today was as "normal" of a day as I could have expected. I went early in the day to the airport to welcome home two planes of reserve soldiers who had been on vacation, dropped everything, and made the decision to risk their lives for our beautiful country. My cousin Yehuda was one of these heroes, cutting short a trip to South America. There were flags, hugs, tears, singing, and mostly, Israeli pride. Once we dropped him off at my parents, I gave him a big hug, told him he's a hero and that I love him, and to keep safe.

It was a pretty quiet day in terms of rockets, which may mean they are saving them because they expect this to go on for a while. I worked more than I have been able to, and played with my kids more than I have been able to. E made sure that I locked all doors when he went to sleep. That is the most heartbreaking part of the whole thing.

But perhaps the best part of the day, was seeing a traffic circle next to my parents house, full of 16-17-18 year olds, dancing to Hebrew and uplifting music, with huge Israeli flags. And the cars that went through circle were honking, smiling, and taking videos. The Spirit of Israel is how I know we are going to prevail (I didn't say win because no matter what, we got hit very heavy on the first day).

I also almost finished my Kehillah Shabbat Shalom videos, from our citizens to our soldiers and reserve soldiers, and vice versa. Cant wait to launch it tomorrow. Our soldiers are holy and special people. 

I sent a long email to a Lions journalist who wrote things that made it seem at first glance that Israel was at fault. Looking forward to seeing his response.

And lastly, I moved the Google Sheet from yesterday to Monday. Waiting for reviews on that.

Am Yisrael Chai.
