This morning, on Shabbat, while drinking my coffee, I heard what sounded like “the siren”! I had to get closer to the open window to clarify, and yes it was. [couldn't they make the siren a bit louder so we could all hear it?]
Was this a prank?
No, I heard doors open in the hallway, and hurried footsteps. I grabbed my robe to be covered and my keys and out the door I headed down to the street.
Then I heard the sound of a missile and the Iron Dome puff it out of the sky. Slowly that white streak confirmed success.
Was this really happening? Boker Tov, Hamas here!
I was amazed that those stupid terrorists were attempting to attack Israel!
Stupid or not, that was what they were doing.
Up and down the stairs we went a couple times until it really sank in that they meant murder!
Because we didn’t have any source of news, we all went to Shul as it was Shabbat and Shemini Hatzeret and Simchat Torah! [dejavu, just like Yom Kippur years ago]
Is this Gog UMagog? It is the end of Succos!
“HaShem is in control and the IDF will take care of things on the ground.”
There we were, the ladies all outside the Shul under the gigantic Succah. Of course the devasting news found a way to us all. We heard “abductions” and “killings”. Good grief, it is war!
The men were celebrating in the Shul and could not hear each of the sirens and the Iron Dome smattering EACH incoming missile.
B”H .....HKB”H was watching over us.
But what was really taking so long for the IDF to get things under control??

Reality sets in slowly.
By the time we finished our celebrating with the Torah the skies were clear and no more sirens.
Now to keep checking the news for those “WAR” “UPDATES”.
What are we going to find out?
How did the murderers get out of Gaza?
How were they allowed to infiltrate into southern Israel?
Who armed them?
Where were the cameras/video surveillance??
WHAT TOOK SO LONG???
A lot of questions that need truthful answers.
Will we get them??
