Well... I can't complain. I've had a wonderful holiday season. I took my daughter to Canada, and I enjoyed a sunny weekend in Santa Monica, and things are going just great in general. But due to some unforeseen circumstances, we're canceling our family trip to Florida, at least for now. So we're here in the (beautiful! prayed-for!) California rain, cozy in our little home, doing our best.
I feel badly for the thousands of travelers who are stranded due to the winter storm and the Southwest cancellations (wow, what a rough time for that generally very good airline). I thought we'd dodged the travel gremlins when my daughter and I made it home (on time!) through all of the holiday chaos last week. But winter is winter, even in this wonderful place called California.
Today's episode is devoted to the second anniversary of the October 7 terror attacks. It was produced before the announcement of a ceasefire deal, yet remains current & relevant.
Please listen, and #bringthemhome.

This week's portion is a beautiful poem, containing the Covenant between God and the people of Israel. But given the breaking news that Hamas may actually have agreed to release all of the Israeli hostages, I will devote my remarks to that.
One hopes it is true; if so, it makes this week's additional reading, from II Samuel 22, even more relevant: David's song of praise to the Lord for delivering him from the hand of his enemies.
"18 He rescued me from my powerful enemy,
from my foes, who were too strong for me.
19 They confronted me in the day of my disaster,
but the Lord was my support."
So much to focus on this week -- and much breaking news. A peace deal in the Middle East, perhaps? Eric Adams dropping out of the mayor's race? And a looming shutdown as Democrats push their demands beyond absurdity.
