Just Came Out of the Air Raid Shelter

Air raid sirens sounded here in Nahariya and also in Haifa where our youngest son is living. We went into our building's air raid shelter. I said my daily measure of Psalms and said the afternoon prayers, then got bored, then sat down. People chatted about the news, infiltrators in Maalot and the air raid on Tiberias. Someone tried to start a song. It didn't get very far. I'm a decent Russian tenor when I want to be, and many in our buildings are Russian speakers, so I sang a Chassidic song in Russian about fearing nobody but G-d. It was appreciated. Son called from Haifa and told me about his air raid siren and refuge in the basement. Finally. Finally finally, the air raid alert ended. No explosions. Now we're back in our apartment.

I'm glad you are safe. I'm sure you have a go bag.
For those without a map, Eleuthera lives about 7 miles south of Lebanon on the coast. Beautiful area, but the neighbors leave much to be desired.
