Festivities of October 2011

The festivals have come and gone ensuring us all a healthy sweet new year. Rosh Hashona (festival celebrating the beginning of the Jewish New Year) was had in Toronto. The Day of Atonement was observed in Miami, as was the festival of the booths. It was wet and wild in South Florida as the tropic summer months continue well into Autumn.

Queen Elizabeth visited Australia for afternoon tea. Speaking of leaders, Muammur Gaddafi was found and killed in Libya as the world watches the birth of another democratic nation. Time will tell. Violence continues all over the Middle East and North Africa, as does “Occupy’ violence from New York to Buenos Aires and back.

‎Finally, after 1941 days, Gilad Shalit returned home. It was a magical and proud moment as Gilad crossed the border and embraced his father. May G-d continue to protect and watch over us.

‎Perhaps it will be third time lucky for Sir Paul McCartney as he tied the knot to Nancy Shevell. In sadder news, technological geeks and Apple Mac fans mourned the loss of Steve Jobs. The face of Apple lost his battle with cancer, he fought hard and long but in the end he bit the apple.

Wishing all the Americans a very happy Thanksgiving and healthy Turkey consumption.
It’s starting too look a lot like Winter …….
