Light of 9 Heshvan 5781
Dedicated to the neshama of Yehuda Leab ben Aharon Yitzhak uShifra, whose petirah and levaya were today.
Several days ago in mid-afternoon (Tuesday, 20 October / 2 Heshvan) it rained pretty heavily in my Yerushalayim neighborhood for about an hour, then moved on elsewhere in the Holy City. I heard the rain before looking out the window, but I was way too slow. No pics of mine here. But you can see some here, thanks to Neshama, who also lives in Yerushalayim.
Consider this picture, taken for the Times of Israel (first link above). How many times has anyone seen a solitary cloud hanging over Jerusalem at the beginning of the rainy season? (I was hoping that the north of the country would also benefit; but, alas, it seems that no other part of our ancestral homeland did. I'd like to know if other parts of Israel got some precious rain as well.)
I don't know where it went from there, or if it just dispersed.
Meanwhile, on the same day, while the ground was still drying from the rain and surfaces were still dripping, a Jerusalem neighborhood saw a young girl arrested and her face pepper-sprayed because she wasn't wearing a mask, in front of the apartment building where she lives. It's not in a strict haredi neighborhood, either. If you examine the video carefully (3rd tweet down; it's 1 minute, 36 seconds long), you'll see that her feet are bare. I think that means she wasn't going anywhere.
We don't know how it ends because someone came home in a car and wanted to park in the parking lot out of our view; that's where the video stops.
Abba sheh'baShamayim, what's the message here, besides that we have a way to go yet before we can have an unmitigated redemption?

My G-d Hava, the violence against this poor girl is unbearable. WE ALL, AS ONE, HAVE TO REBEL AGAINST THESE MONSTERS AND MONSTROUS WOMEN. These are not Jews, these are not humans, these are devils in human flesh. As a people we have to stand up like Mordechai and say: NO, DAYEINU. NO MORE. We shall NOT comply with this tyranny, this dictatorship from hell! We shall not bow down to Amalek!!!!!!
I was also very upset to see that poor girl with no one coming to her aid and defense. Those policewomen should be fired because they are obviously incapable of making rational decisions, pictured here in my post: https://habayitah.blogspot.com/2020/10/israeli-brownshirt-violence.html
I hope her family sues the police and takes on up to the supremes.
Please add this name to your prayer list: Dov Bear Yitzchak ben Raizel Esther.
