about to have some cake

PERSON:  Today I commemorated my husband, he does not like birthdays, parties, but this was a big one. So I got friends together, it was a surprise, and at first he was not too happy, but ended up enjoying himself with close friends.  The best part was there was a huge kids area, the kids were so busy, all of us adults got to relax, hang, chat, and enjoy each others company.  We went to www.tacoflame.com, it is Kosher and perfect for families.

EVENT:  Today in my news feed I am getting information about a very special commemoration of an event.  I am deeply connected to it, and I am excited to learn more about it. Before Israel became the Jewish state, Jewish people were living in Arab countries and Iran.  My ancestors came from these Mizrahi Jews, and even before Israel, there was persecution and after Israel most got expelled.  I feel this is extremely important history and education for the world to know especially connecting what is happening now with all the extremism, antisemitism, and anti Zionism around the world.  The Holocaust was so extreme and on such a great scale, that other atrocities were not focused on.  Finally today Israel is educating, and God Willing the rest of the world will follow.  At the end of the blog is a short video all about the commemoration.

I also ran across some amazing articles about spreading the truth about the Jewish mission in this world, the Jewish way of being, and rebutting all the lies about genocide and apartheid.  It is so important to keep on educating ourselves and everyone around us, so it is not a bully situation, but a place of knowledge, mutual respect, debate, and action going forward.
