Yesterday, noontime, as if we didn't have on our minds, the emergency beeper went off. I always run to check and read the announcements.
We were "urged" to get the beeper during the terrible, murderous Arab terrorism which characterized Ehud Barak's reign as Prime Minister of Israel.
Baruch Hashem, most of the announcements are useless or sad things like:
- Story time in Shvut Rachel
- Tour of the Tel is going to begin ten minutes ago
- No water, sorry. It's being repaired.
- Baruch Dayan Emet. __ passed away; funeral will ....
This time is it announced that we were all invited to a Brit Millah, Circumcision ceremony in the local shul, right behind my house. The baby just made a two generation Shiloh clan in to a three generation one, and there were lots of great-grandparents visiting, too.
Baruch Hashem, it was nice to have an excuse to change into clean clothes, put on lipstick and leave the house for an hour.
