Elul 5772

Elul comes after the dark month of Av and still keeps the shades of the suffering and distress.

A short overview of the events that took place in the month of Elul shows how before the change many dramatic changes could take place.

And only if I try to think about some of the events of the last days, according to the media news, I cannot stop thinking about the difficult beginning that stays before us:

The anti-semitic attack on the college campus in the US. As usual, it is still difficult to see American as a hotbed of hate, but the zahav medina for Jews was only in my imagination. A couple of seconds ago I've read that the Orthodox Rabbi of Berlin was charged for defending circumcisions.

A recent anti-semitic attack in Berlin, a place where the Jews discussed a lot lately about what the meaning of a circumcision ban.

The news of the inevitable eviction of Migron

In between many other news and dangers. The challenges aren't new, the opportunities change always.
