Hello from the Editor

Since Pesach we have been through yet another six-month period of an upside-down world. Much has happened on the world stage and here in Israel we have suffered yet another exchange of rockets across the Gaza border.

Our enemies, worldwide, seem to be getting stronger and louder in their condemnation of Israel, while blinded, often deliberately so, to the truth. In fact truth in many ways seems to be very oldfashioned these days and it’s now opinions and feelings that sway the masses, not facts, truth or common sense.

But still, life for us here in N.Netanya and at YINN carries on BH. Just to prove it, we have here a selection of articles, poems and opinions covering all topics written by our members. We hope you enjoy reading them over the days of Yom Tov.

The rest of the production team join me in thanking all the contributors, advertisers and you, the readers, and we wish you all a sweet and happy New Year.

Sharon Carr, Editor

A few days before we went to print, Queen Ellizabeth II passed away, peacefully. For many Brits, and many of us living here, she was the only Monarch we had ever known. She was a constant in an ever-changing world. She was of incalculable value to Britain, the Britain that many of us grew up in.

The Queen dying, though inevitable, is still sad for us Brits even though we no longer live in Britain. She will be missed.
