Hiatus Might Be Over..and the Dangers of Islam

Haven't posted for over a month, because of family health--mental and physical--issues.  Some are getting resolved, others are in the process.  We need tefilot and good thoughts from our friends and acquaintences, and support.  I am overwhelmed by the support we have received up to now--thank you all from the bottom of my heart for all your help in getting our son over here to visit us at this trying time.  But it's not over yet. There are bills and expenses unpaid as of yet, and more of our adult children who need to visit. But that's for another post and appeal.

I miss blogging. Commenting on Facebook is not quite the same, although I love the medium for keeping in touch and interacting (even though it's in cyberspace) with my friends and acquaintences.  So I'm starting up again, even though my patience is worn thin, and somewhere deep in my brain I fight the urge that considers it utter batlanut - a total waste of time.  But so be it.

Unfortunately, I have to post my first post in over a month on a subject you are probably sick of, The Religion of Peace, Islam.  But I could not pass this video up, it is so important to our understanding of what Islam is doing, step by step, to achieve its nefarious goals of total Sharia law for the entire world today.  Watch it and shudder.  And then, we must ACT, to prevent the ultimate horror.

The Great Debate: Is it Itsy Bitsy, or Inky Dinky, of Spider Fame?

Image
For the better part of a year, I've had an on-again, off-again debate with my D.H. as to the "correct" adjective in the children's finger-play nursery rhyme, "The Itsy-Bitsy Spider" (now you know which one I favor). My D. H. insists that the correct descriptive is "inky dinky," whereas I demur.  I vaguely recollect from my own childhood, either hearing " itsy-bitsy spider ," or even more familiar to me, the description "eency-weency," referring to said spider's miniscule size, yet plucky persistance, and how he (she?) braved the violent rainstorm which "washed it out" after the arduous climb up the water spout, yet doggedly climbed the spout again, after the sun came out and 'dried up all the rain.' Many, if not most of our American nursery rhymes originated on the other side of the pond, in England, for obvious reasons: the American colonists were British in origin, and brought with them the culture an...

The End. Is there a Beginning...?

This is my first post back on Tikkun Olam since April 23rd, 2015. It does not feel real. Why is it that we never think we will ever have a JOLT in our lives that will change the entire life course we have been traveling? We continue on, day by day, complacent, even in the face of serious illness--believing that what we are living is the only reality; that it is immutable, that it is PHYSICAL: you can touch it, feel it, and it will continue to be there for you tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow... But it isn't. And it won't.  Because the unthinkable can, and does, happen, in time. To everybody. As it happened to me, almost a year ago, on August 10, 2015, when my DH - Dear Husband, of 46 years, died. I am living in an Alternate Universe. Because the universe in which I was living all my life until now, is gone. I still want to slap myself in the face and wake myself up. It's a dream. A terrible nightmare.  It's a horror movie with a frightening ending, but I will...

Hijab for Jewish Women?

Image
Someone used this phrase in a comment on a post about the hijab wearing Jewish women in Ramat Bet Shemesh Alef: "modern Hareidi community;" this is an oxymoron. Just for the record, I rarely agree with a Hareidi interpretation of anything. This mode of dress is just a bad interpretation of a good concept ( tzniyut ) taken to extremes. Personally, I cover my hair because I feel it increases my humility by remembering that there is a G-d above me ( not because of the reason of less attraction to men). I chose many years ago to do so; but I have come to believe a woman can be Orthodox without covering her hair all the time; just while in shul, and where it shows respect for the Torah, such as at shiurim, or where it is the preferred mode of dress, such as at yeshiva dinners and the like. But to go to the grocery? Not necessarily . I think the whole message of tzniyut is lost in those hijab cases: where will they go next? Hiding in the home and not going out? Sitting behind a cur...
