Shabbat Shalom, at the beginning of what is forecasted to be a sign that Spring is not too far off with temperatures reaching towards 14 or 15 Celsius of 60 Fahrenheit. I hope it is dryer too, so that we can all enjoy getting out.

As one who is a sport fanatic, this week has offered me much, but sadly mostly defeats for the teams which I am supporting, so that UK has not won a medal at the Olympics, Brighton and Hove Albion seem to go from bad to worse, and the England cricket team just managed to get into the next stages of the 20/20 World Cup, struggling to beat Nepal and Italy!

This week's Celebrity column is about Zack Polanski, the Jewish leader of the Green Party. I am not a supporter of the Green Party, but Zack adds something to British politics which could be very powerful. He has a lot of charisma and because of this, could be a major personality against Nigel Farage.

He is anti-Israel which he blames for genocide, but is strongly Jewish, and I could imagine him rediscovering his Zionism in years to come.

Barely a mention has been made of what happened between President Trump and Bibi Netanyahu regarding Iran. Looking at YouTube, Mr Trump has had a major row with Canada, which may well lead to problems with trade between the two countries and real threats to USA's security.
