Shana Tova

We are entering year 5784 in the Jewish calendar. Man. how time flies. Not long ago we were pulling stones for the pyramids then walked across the Red Sea and now we are still here in this the world! Life is funny. We are like the Timex watch, "take a licking but keep on ticking".

And that is what we are, the Timex watches of this world. In this ensuing 5784 years everybody was trying to eradicate the Jews from this world. Did they succeed? No! Every time they tried, we came back stronger and with more determination. Maybe one day the enemies will realize this and will stop trying to get rid of us.

Maybe one day Muslims, Christians and all other religions or beliefs will learn to live together in peace and harmony. It doesn't need Utopia just the lack of jealousy. Because jealousy is the root of most of the problems.

Jews built a strong, thriving country in the sand. Now everybody is looking at them askew. Why? Why neighboring countries don't get together and instead of trying to destroy each other, try to learn from each other and eventually live in peace. Interestingly and slowly more and more Muslim countries realize this and attempting peaceful recognition, acceptance, coexistence  and cooperation. Maybe in our lifetime we might see this coming to fruition and Utopia will become reality, even if  in a limited way.

Anyway, to all my Jewish and non-Jewish friends I wish a healthy and prosperous New Year, Shana Tova. 

By the way, today Saturday is the first day of Rosh Hashanah.
