Weather It Is (Everyone Said)

Good Evening:

Everywhere I went everyone said: "Tut-Tut it looks like rain," as they scooted from place to place.  The question was even raised: "should I bring my rain jacket to school?"

Well the day did bring some rain, but it wasn't very wet.

Temperatures will moderate a bit over the next few days, but remain comfortable for the Yom Kippur fast.  The European Union has issue a Yom Kippur related proclamation: "the EU no longer recognizes fasting beyond the 1967 border -- no credit will be given for doing so. The EU encourages anyone planning on fasting for the Jewish Holy Day to do so only in recognized Israel -- and not in the Palestinian Territories."  The Israel Prime Minister responded:  "Obviously, they do not understand that fasting can be done anywhere, on a boat, on a plane, on a train, politics not withstanding."

Fortunately, our weather knows no bounds, and we can safely say that some weather arriving for the start of Sukkot may just bring a shower, to be followed by a warming trend thereafter.  The "rain-storm" will be trying to form near Cyprus as Sukkot arrives.  We'll wish it luck and to all else an easy and meaningful fast.
