Today's Forecast

Over Shabbat I learned that average Jews in New York do not know there are rockets being fired at Israeli towns every day. I spoke with a family visiting, who had no idea. No idea?! They said there is nothing about it in the newspapers, both public and Jewish, there is no coverage about it on the radio, and no one is talking about in shul, school, or at the table. How can that be when here there is little else being spoken of? Last week over 50 rockets slammed into Sderrot. People have been killed. This morning a ceasefire was announced. By 2 PM Israeli time at least 5 rockets have fallen today. The ceasefire lasted 75 minutes.
