Confused

I’m trying to keep my news watching at a minimum, but I did see something positive yesterday. The EU was flying our flag in solidarity with Israel. Excerpt from my diary on the second day of war, 2023 Now the UNRWA and other UN organizations are nominated for the Noble Peace Prize… I’m horrified, but then the world seems to have lost its moral compass. Excerpt from my dairy a year ago The world gets more confused with each passing day. And so do I, especially with the “peace” plan. One minute I’m thrilled at the thought of my neighbor’s son and my children’s friend being released from the Gaza hell. The next I’m horrified that we’re letting convicted terrorists who want me dead out of jail. I’m not naïve. Although I pray I’m wrong, I don’t think the “peace” plan will bring true peace. It is probably a glorified ceasefire that might last a long time and might not. Still, the thought of our exhausted children having a break from the army is intoxicating. Yes, we will still need our soldiers but there’s a big difference from being on safety patrol and fighting in combat. As confused as I am there is one thing I know. I am not in charge. We are now in the middle of Sukkot. Every day I hold the four species in my hands and sing Hallel, praises to the Almighty. I raise my lulav and etrog to the heavens as I plead, beg, and scream Please HaShem, Save Us Now!! I have to do my part. Not by playing the blame game and wishing I could turn back the clock. Rather by doing more acts of kindness, caring speech, and sincere prayers. If we all try to improve the world just a little bit perhaps HaShem will truly save all of us.
