Week 121 below.
Hey, Twitter is still here. Nice to know.
123.02/ All right, I hear TFG may come back. So I succumbed and jointed the Tooting Place in the first silo at random.
@JoshuaCypess@mstdn.party
Worth having a backup.
123.03/ Second #MotzeiShabbatMovieNight of the season: "A Night at the Opera."
Of course, I've shown the family this movie before - I'm no monster - but it's been too long & the kids are forgetting the lines, and that can't be.

123.03b/ Note, in unwitting homage to this movie, I actually saw "Il trovatore" in the New York Metropolitan Opera. That's how committed I was to my heroes Groucho, Chico and Harpo.

123.04/ I'm trying to use fedifinder.glitch.me, and - it is a bit glitchy, but it's better'n nothing.

Once you're done, you'll probably want to find some people to follow.
Good news! Several of the people you follow here are probably there already. A good tool to auto-follow your friends over there that you already follow here is this

123.05/ My family & I are going to Israel tonight to see my oldest who's living there this year (so, my posting will be sporadic at best). Also excited at the possibility of celebrating Sigd in EY.

123.07/ We were nowhere near the attacks this morning in Jerusalem, thank God. Deep condolences to the family of the murdered teenager. How horrible.
Sending refuah sheleimah for the wounded.

123.08/ My son, working in Israel this year, came with these gifts, demonstrating how well he's absorbed the lessons & instruction of my parenting. Getting kosher soda is hard, especially in goofy #Fanta flavors
123.09/ Went to the Israel Museum today & saw some amazing things, possibly the most mind-blowing was this king's seal of Hezekiah himself! It gives me chills. The Bible validated as history by archeology!

123.10/ We also saw some funny Avoda-Zara statues. Many Roman gods, but also stuff from 4000+ years ago. Including this cartoonish lady.
123.11/ Chodesh Tov from "The Eye of the Universe!" One small thing I treasure about being here is the birkat cohanim in every morning davening. It's a palpable sign of the advanced holiness.

123.12/ There's also a fun halachic shuffle where we don't say "Ten tal u'matar" in America yet, but *do* say in Israel, yet when I return to America I stop saying it for a week or so and then start up again.

123.13/ Able to daven Rosh Chodesh mincha at the kotel at virtually the earliest time possible. It's a bracha to be able to do so, but still tinged with sadness at the Churban (can't help it!)
123.14/ It's heavy rain in Jerusalem (a bracha) and heavy traffic (not so much) and we just passed through the walls of the Old City (the ramparts) through the Sha'ar ha-Ashpah (the ram parts).
123.15/ Making Shabbas lunch and going for one of my favorite Israeli food customs: challah with a trillion "salads" (pictured below). Alas, I didn't fully trust this caterer's Yerushalmi kugel (with pickle, of course).
123.16/ My daughter asked why do people think that it's a good thing to leave notes in the Western Wall (something I'm pretty much against). I explained that it must come from the concept of "leave-note Yerushalayim" as seen below

123.17/ Candle lighting in Jerusalem is 36 minutes before sunset, so that's very soon. Please stay safe everyone and #ShabbatShalom
