 All is well in the holy landAll is well
In the land of Israel,
People cry and people laugh,
Isn't it all part of life?!
Babies are being born
By the normal rate
Children are attending schools,
Smart and bright not being fools
People rise
People fall,
And rise up again
Aren't we all?!
The unseen forces of the land,
Keep playing their part,
Causing young and old,
To be moved and often bold,
The markets are bustling,
With the merchants cries,
To buy cheap potatoes,
Or meat on the fly,
People are people,
Aren't we all?
Wanting peace and quiet,
Being happy most of all,
So all is well in the holy land,
Along the beaches of Mediterranean sand,
Till next Ramble,
On Monday,
Enjoy the weekend,
Boaz Pnini

The land of Israel - Live broad cast from the beach of Ashdod

There was nothing more satisfying than rolling down from the top of our private dune near Ashdod beach (to enlarge click twice on the photo)
On summer break we often went to Ashdod beach, fighting the jelly fish and braving the high waves, drawining almost in salty waters, being heroes of the moment, conquerers of the sea, or so it felt in our young bodies.
When visiting Israel I often visit the beaches of my childhood, taking off my shoes, enjoying the long untouched stretch of open beach. Now you can too, if you have IE browser.. Watch live or watch stills, that's exactly how it feels.

Food for thought - The rich man who went to sleep peacefully
|
Once upon a time there was a rich man, he had many factories and employed many people and had a big loving family and lots of worldly possessions, he was a good man. Once he was asked how can he go to sleep and not worried about everything he can lose.
His answer was that it does not really belong to him, so everyday before going to bed he will return all that he has to the care of g-d the almighty and go to sleep peacefully owning nothing, and in the morning he will barrow it all back.
I do not know were I heard this story, but it really garbed me. If you know its source, please let me know so I may give credit where credit is due.
