I think the rainbows showing up in various places was a very sweet thing for mourners to see...

Thank you for posting this. I remember hearing yesterday that that was part of the official plan; that the BBC would make the announcement.

My SIL just called me from the UK to inform me about a relative in hospital there.

We started talking about the Queen and she got choked up. Not looking forward to Charles.

After everything he, his wife, and their supporters have said and insinuated about the family I am surprised they want anything to do with him.

There is a hub bub about not waiting until harry got there to make announcement .

They did go past the appointed time of 6pm. Maybe in this day and age they felt they needed to get the news out there since Bbc had already dressed in black etc.

Or..it’s a signal that he is an outsider

Saw you his clip about the woman in brown. It is kind of weird

He should’ve parked his rear in London. Surprised he went to Balmoral, TBH.

The delay in him taking off might have been over the fight of Markle not going. Kate didn’t go so perhaps they didn’t want Markle there for that reason....as well as all the other obvious ones.

When QEII was born in 1926, the United Kingdom could still plausibly claim to be the #1 pre-eminent nation in the world. She would witness firsthand her country permanently cede that status as a result of the brutal meat-grinder of a second World War in a generation, then she watched it continue to slowly go downhill as the empire gradually collapsed over the next couple of decades, and at her death it is now in a scary state of rapid decline, and possibly even on the verge of being a failed state.

It's kind of a tragic life in a strange way from that perspective. My biggest fear is that the lives of myself and other Americans my age seem to be closely mirroring the experience.

Last night I watched a documentary about the Queen’s Coronation in 1953.
It was third time I’ve watched it.
She reminisced about that day, and added personal observations, some humorous. They had taken out her Coronation Crown and she spoke of the hazards of wearing it, and there was also some discussion about its construction, as well as highlighting of some other items used in her coronation.
Right after that, I watched another documentary about her 90th birthday, they interviewed Princes Charles, William, and Harry. All three talked about how the Queen was (at that time) able to carry out her heavy schedule every day, and how she did it with grace and good humor.
It was particularly interesting to see Harry speak of her in glowing terms, almost in awe.
Both documentaries are on HBO+.

There's a fantastic message in the announcement for its dual meaning to all Americans at this time of turmoil. There are no words, so here are the matching lyrics to the anthem that played in the official announcement:

My country, 'tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing;
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrims' pride,
From ev'ry mountainside
Let freedom ring!

Platinum Jubilee. 70 is the new 50, so consider the full verse from the Liberty Bell, the place of the "Soul of the Nation" speech:

Leviticus 25:10 And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.

Year 5783 begins on the evening of September 25. It marks the 50th year (completion of 7 Shmita cycles) after the reunification of JerUSAlem. The grand opening of the United States embassy in JerUSAlem took place on May 14, 2018. The date marked Israel's 70th birthday as per the Western calendar. The building straddles the armistice line, at address 14 David Flusser (Flüsser = "river") street. America and Israel both became independent... from Britain.

David [דוד] = 14, one stone (14 lb.). In common British usage, the larger unit for stating weights; e.g. of people. 10 stone, 7 lbs versus 147 lbs.

5 stones = 70

1 Samuel 17:40. And he took his staff in his hand, and chose five smooth stones from the brook [nachal, river], and put them in a shepherd's bag which he had, and in his knapsack; and his sling was in his hand; and he drew near to the Philistine:

(Little David smacked the great giant right upside the head.)

Hebrew year blessings are derived from the acronym of the year. 783: tav shin pei gimel.

The customary year blessing from HaRav Ginsburg is that 783 will be a year of great wonder:

Te Shnat Pele Gadol [תהא שנת פלא גדול], "May it be a year of great wonder."

This is also the year (83) of its last letter (83: gimel, גימל). The letter gimel is associated with giving, as the rich man chasing after the poor man (the letter dalet) to give him charity.

Or as in the rules for playing the Dreidel game, the gimel landing face up (representing the word great, gadol) means that

the player gets everything in the pot.

Who ever gets tired of winning?

There's so much Jewish commenary about reaching 50, that it's God who grants the crossover from 49 to 50. Aloha, Shalom.

But nothing of note about going from 69 to 70. Then again, how about all of those souls? Big mystery in Genesis 46, how the numbers don't add up. Lots of speeches, theories. Who was the 70th? Osnat, Serach...?

Here's one example. (An entire generation had only known the 70-year reign of Queen Elizabeth II.)

But on the basic principle, "plus the kolel", just add 1, the Kolel. Who would even think to look there, to make it all click?!

A superhero could be any regular guy. Who would suspect?

Joseph: "he will add"

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me.

And I'm feeling good:

O come, O come, Emmanuel,
And ransom captive Israel,
That mourns in lonely exile here

Even the timing clues are stashed deep cover in plain sight and sound...

Clinton posed on the red carpet for the premiere of director Noah Baumbach's forthcoming Netflix film "White Noise." She ditched her usual pantsuit look and instead donned a baby blue kaftan and shiny flats for the evening.

Many were confused about why she was there, but rumors have swirled around that it was due to her connection to Netflix. The streaming giant is also at the helm of Clinton and her daughter Chelsea's documentary, "In Her Hands." The project will be the first from the Clintons' new production company HiddenLight Productions.

Why is Hillary Clinton at Venice Film Festival? 'Completely unnecessary'

O come on, she was dressed up like the Belle of the ball, even upon landing. And Venice is famous for the flooding.

The "cataclysmic flood" in Venice on November 12, 2019 even fell on the anniversary of the famous "Fish Under the Sea" dance...

If people only knew their history:

Where we're going we don't need roads.

That's Amore.
That's the Power of Love ~ Huey Lewis and the [Good] News

Huey even had a cameo, with a megaphone saying that the Pinheads were too darn loud. Seriously? The Pinheads?

The Hidden Light

aka Ohr Mashiach, Ohr Rishon

Jonah 1:6 So the shipmaster came to him, and said unto him, What meanest thou, O sleeper? arise, call upon thy God, if so be that God will think upon us, that we perish not.

It's the month of the Elul, when the king is now in the field.

I see and hear a lot of bells... right from the beginning:

And besides, 70 in base 10 is 50 in base 14, beis David.
