#shemini atzeret
Text
Am posting it during our sacred holiday of shemini atzeret/simchat Torah, where we dance with the torah scroll and sing and are happy because it's the commandment to be happy on this holiday.
Why am I posting it? Because Hamas declared war on Israel, sent hundreds (probably thousands, clearly I wasn't keeping count) of rockets all over (Jerusalem got around ten alarms and around three times more rockets), invaded the south and took hostages and murdered more than 20 people and injured over 500 ppl, and are trying to get the hostages into Gaza. They burnt houses with people inside them. They're still shooting at and inside the villages.
They knew it's simchat Torah. Hamas loves using our own holidays as times to attack us to ruin our most precious days.
I'm alright, I was able to run a shelter and even when we were dancing with the Torah and the alarm started, we moved to the shelter and sang from the bottom of our hearts so loudly we couldn't hear the alarms or the bombs being destroyed by iron dome. We kept dancing, we kept singing, we read the Torah proudly, worried but determined. Those of us serving in reserves or regular duty were called from synagogues and celebrations to rise to protect their country.
All of that, and I still find horrific people on tumblr celebrate the death of Israelies and call the actions of Hamas as righteous against their 'oppressors'.
They are more antisemites than jews in the world, even when they are a minority of their communities. More people wish for our death around the world than Israelies. I'm truly frustrated and angry. Innocent civilians were murdered in their houses and people cheer the terrorists on. They're not sjw, they're murderers that simply never got the chance to do it themselves.
Please pray for the innocent lives and for Israel to wrap up this whole bullshit soon so those that are injured can be rescued and treated and those murdered can be laid to rest and everyone else can be left alone and allowed to live peacefully.
Hamas, please just leave us alone, I'm asking for the umpteenth time.

This morning was the last day of Sukkot, known as Hoshana Rabba and this is what the Kotel looked liked in Jerusalem.
Tonight begins the festival of Shemini Atzeret (and Simchat Torah).

Have some beautiful bite-sized divrei Torah. They're 4-5.5 minutes to listen to, or you can read the transcripts. I thoroughly enjoyed them.

Red Tomato Jam
The Jewish holidays of Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah mark the end of the year and the annual cycle of Torah readings. This joyful “ending”reminds me of school commencement which comes after the completion of required courses but means “a beginning,” a celebration of accomplishments but with a look to the future.
We’re done; it’s time to look ahead.
With this in mind, this year my Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah menu will focus on the end of the vegetable garden I planted last spring and using the harvest in new ways.
All summer we were blessed with fresh tomatoes that I used for sandwiches, salads, pizzas and sauce. And fresh chili peppers that went into mango salsa and roasted pepper soup. But recently we had a horrific rain storm that more or less put an end to my garden. I harvested the not so beautiful end of season tomatoes and cooked them into jam: Green Tomato Jam and, with the ripe red tomatoes, this simple Red Tomato Jam.
This was such a delicious way to make use of what was left! It’s vaguely sweet, with a hint of cumin. So far I’ve used the jam for grilled cheese sandwich and also as a spread for a cheese board.
Next: a topping for either burgers or steak.
There’s more to come of course. I’ll keep you posted.
New beginnings.

RED TOMATO JAM
2 pounds tomatoes, preferably plum tomatoes
1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
3 medium scallions, chopped
1 chili pepper, deseeded and chopped
1-1/4 cups sugar
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add some of the tomatoes, cook them for 20 seconds then place them under cold running water. Continue with the remainder of the tomatoes. Remove the skins from the tomatoes and chop them into small pieces. Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the tomatoes, scallions and chili pepper and cook for 4-5 minutes to soften them slightly. Add the sugar, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice and salt, mix thoroughly, bring the ingredients to a boil and turn the heat to low. Cook for about 1-1/2 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally, or until the mixture is thick and jam like.
Makes about 2 cups
