Good Shabbos to all,
I am not sure what has happened in the Middle East which is of real note, seemingly just more of the same.
There are talks of a ceasefire, but even when they announce it, it does not seem to stop the fighting, specially in Lebanon. In the news of the past 24 hours, the Lebanese Government and Israel were agreed on a peace which would move all the Hezbollah families to north of the Litani River, but this was refused by Hezbollah, for whom continuing the war, aided by Iran is much more preferable, however many lives it costs, both Hezbollah and Lebanese civilians!
Whatever the situation, the fact is that there is due to be a General Election in Israel sometime after September. One of the main personalities in this will be Benny Gantz, and so we have included a biography of him in our Celebrities page, whihc can be found under Entertainment.
One of the most popular recipes which Rachelle has given us was that for New Green Cucumbers, so we have resurrected that as our Recipe of the week.
This week's Parsha is Behaalotecha, whihc goes further into the story of life in the desert.
I hope you have a wonderful Shabbat followed by a great week.
All the best
Nick.
