Arab Terrorist slaughtered Jews tonight. We will not remain silent.

Kotel

     All the fighting about which Jews have the last word about who could pray at the kotel was so uncomfortable to listen to . Living in the United States I am so used to live and let live  in regard to non orthodox forms of Judaism. The kotel is a holy site for all Jews. The fact that Jews with different ways of expressing Judaism still hold this site dear is significant. Baseless hatred for our fellow Jews is what caused the destruction of the Beit Hamikdash and our galus.
     Now this war on the temple mount and more senseless deaths.

I have never seen the kotel this empty during the daytime. So sad. I pray for peace sooner rather than later. I love Israel. I pray for achdus of Jewish people everywhere and peace for all of us. 

Drizzling

   I am not a fan of the rain but the weather has been so hot for the past week that the drizzly day today was welcome. I sat outside on the benches on Ocean Parkway this evening in the breezy drizzle which felt delicious. Not too many people were as daring as I was . Their LOSS. 

Almond Cheese

    I recently made cheese out of almonds. I am not vegan  or lactose intolerant but I do like trying new things. This weekend I made a "cheese" out of almonds . I cant't say that it tastes exactly like dairy cheese, but its pretty yummy  as a spread or a sauce. It takes awhile to make but don't let that scare you. Its worth the effort.
