Weather It Is (The Heat Continues)

Good Afternoon:

The weather continues to be unseasonably hot. Winds continue to rotate counterclockwise around low pressure to our east.  Unfortunately, temperatures will vary from the low to 30s to mid 30s throughout the week. This is obviously not good weather for fasting on T'She B'av.

It is strange that there is so much arguing among Jews, and such little respect given for those who are in disagreement -- and the (date of the) destruction of the Temple is just around the corner.

I wonder how many people who claim to be following The Law actually pay any attention to the reasons given for the destruction of the Temple.  It's like a person who speeds (in his car) all the time, but never thinks that he (or she) will be involved in a deadly crash.

In case you are wondering: I don't think we should have removed the metal detectors.  You can't reason with or appease our neighbors.  They don't respect gratuity -- it is a sign of weakness.  Perhaps it is time for our PM to retire.

Shabbat Shalom,
