I just spent a wonderful Shabbat in Efrat with my dear friends. Not only is it wonderful to spend time with friends, and to spend Shabbat in a community where 99% of the people are also celebrating Shabbat, but they give me a perspective on Israel I don’t get in the news or on websites.
For instance, anyone who reads news about Israel, knows that Ehud Olmert has a popularity rating the makes Gearg W. Bush look loved by most Americans. We’re talking single digit numbers for a favorable poll rating.
So one thing people do for fun, or is it more a comment on the despair they are feeling, is to create a folder on their Windows desktop and name it “Ehud Olmert.” Then the fun begins. You highlight it, and then delete. And Windows asks you “Are you sure you want to permanently remove Ehud Olmert?”
Ahhh, the feeling of empowerment.
