Shmini Atzeres and Simchas Torah

My visit to the holy land is coming to a close. In three days I will be boarding a plane back to Chicago (at about 1:00 AM local time on Sunday (Motzoi Shabbos). Not looking forward to that for many reasons. Not the least of which is that I hate flying.

Yom Tov in Isrsael has thus far been all I expected it be and more. The weather has been great. It's truly a pleasure spending time with your children and grandchildren in a warm climate for Sukkos.

This will be my last post until Sunday. Until then I want to once again wish everyone a Chag Sameach.
