Never rains…

… but it pours.  Yikes!

If you click on the actual days, though, you’ll see that they’re doing that THING again – the thing that peeves me off every time (like this time).  Yup, the actual Probability of Precipitation on any given day is 30%.  And they’ve recently revamped the site to make it even harder to find the actual probability.

Ha ha ha ha… just kidding.  NOT Eilat!!!  (although it is the least HUMID place in Israel, according to this very unscientific – based on only five dates in its thousands of years of history – weather chart I created last night)

No, I think we’ll go somewhere nice and cool in the north.  North sounds cool, right???  And as Canadians, what better place is there to live the dream of “the true North, strong and free???”

Curious about where we actually WILL be living in Israel, iy”h?  So am I! 

If you haven’t already, head on over and “Follow” my infrequent aliyah blog – Adventures in AliyahLand (natch).  Things will heat up over there as we get closer to the big day – okay, the big YEAR.

Naomi Rivka has been asking lately what I think about Chabad.  She asks, in part, because she already knows how I feel.  She already knows I’m bothered, though to her, it’s mostly about “liking” and “not liking.”  I wish things were that simple. Our little neighbourhood in Israel has a significant Chabad presence, and Chabad conducts fairly significant outreach within the community.  Which sounds nice until you realize that this is a religious neighbourhood, closed on Shabbos, where some huge percentage of people are shomer mitzvos.  Sure, it’s mostly religious Zionist, and there are a range of observances, for sure, but we’re pretty much all religious here in some way or another. So at that point, this isn’t outreach but inreach .  Convincing people who are religious to be… what? A lot of Chabad’s efforts here are focused o...
