Good Shabbos to all,
Well, for those of us in UK, we have had a reminder about winter with heavy rain and strong winds, but hopefully today the weather is improving so that we can get back to the beaches and if you are so minded, strengthen your tan.
In the Middle East, events proceed, with Israel pursuing Hezbollah, and the Americans blowing hot and cold as to whether to pursue the Iranians or make a peace which is not one offered by the IRGC.
The Parsha this week is Shelach which tells of the spies sent out into the land which God had promised the Israelis. Sadly most of them came back and rejected idea of moving from the desert, which earned them a ban of proceeding for 40 years, on the basis that those spies would be dead within that time.
Joshua and Caleb wrote more optimistically.
Our recipe this week from Rachelle is Super Salmon - 3 recipes for salmon steaks which I am sure sound delicious and which are very good for you - Thank you Rachelle.
Joan Collins reached 93 recently and I thought it would be nice to resurrect the piece written by Barbra Paskins, for her 90th birthday. It can be found under the heading of Letter from Hollywood.
We wish Barbra "long life", as her beloved mother has her stone setting on Sunday.
No Jack Kaye articles on football these days, but I am sure those footy fans will have their fill of the World Cup. Personally I shall be trying to avoid it. The takeover by the Trump regime, has disfigured the tournament in many ways. I shall therefore be concentrating on cricket test matches, European Athletics, Motor Racing and golf.
Meanwhile, I hope you have a wonderful Shabbat followed by a great week.
All the best
Nick.
