Thank you, Russ, for helping us in America see what you are experiencing and the beauty of your culture. This moved me to tears. May you hear good news! ❤️
Thank you for this, Russ. Between updates from you and my family over there, I am comforted by the resilience displayed by you all in this situation. Praying for everyone's safety.
Today it seems that you and your wife made a great decision in moving to Israel. You are living among a people on the rise, maybe more so than any people in the world. This is especially true in the last few days as Iran’s nuclear weapons facilities are being destroyed. Might those facilities be rebuilt in five years time? In ten years? In twenty years? Don’t let them. Keep bombing. Keep dismantling. Make it irreversible. The people of Israel deserve peace of mind.
That song is fun! I'm adding it to my Dance Party playlist created to get me through dark days. (The list includes a similar yet very different song by Tesla called Getting Better.) Also, my tough days never include bombs, so Tamid Ohev Oti will help correct my perspective.
Thanks for posting. Please keep writing - or at least check in on X. We worry about you! I worry! I loved the monologue episode, by the way.
The experience of being an immigrant is a singularly unique mental and emotional challenge apart from the economic struggles of the characters you mention in the book. Thank you for sharing this. May God bless you.
A thought that just popped into my head viewing the hostile comments by Rexii, which have zero intellectual value and are solely an emotional provocation. You should look into getting a social media manager to delete the counterproductive content. This is for maintaining your sanity. Perhaps in these days of AI it is more economical than you might assume.

"Put aside the theology of the song that not everyone finds palatable."
Not everyone finds it "palatable" because it is, in the most pure and distilled form conceivable, the antithesis of the message of the Neviim.
We are praying for you! Thank you for a glimpse into what life is like for you.
Thank you, Russ, for this vivid account of Shabbat in Jerusalem. And for the music. I very much appreciate your perspective.
Thank you for writing this. Stay strong!
thank you for sharing; we wish you all safety and the ultimate survival and success of your blessed nation and people
God bless and keep safe the people of Israel.

werent u going to the beaches and brunch whilst the extermination camp in gaza was firing on all cylinders (and still is)
Until this week, I’ve always thought “Listening to the Sirens” was a cute reference to our culture and the story of Odysseus.
