What time did you finish?

This is the question Israelis ask when they meet the day after having celebrated the Seder. Having started late because summer daylight time has commenced a post-midnight conclusion is the rule rather than the exception.

Now that we are enjoying the intermediate days of the week-long Festival, the nature reserves, parks

and beaches are full to capacity with families enjoying time together.

It is hard to imagine that not far away our soldiers and airmen are battling the forces of evil and ensuring our safety and security.
