Heart-Earned Wisdom: Passover

Posted by Sherri Mandell

Did you clean your cabinets?

Weed your cds?

Have you purged your bathroom?

lint brushed your tweeds?

 

Did you splash the playroom?

give away books

edit your photos

take the coats off the hooks?

 

Have you swept your pockets

Hosed down the backpacks?

Did you pack away the breadboard

Have you broken your back?

 

A rabbi says:

Just sweep out the house and

Clean the kitchen

But if we do that then something is missing…

(collective neurosis?)

 

Pity those people who go away

Just lock their house

And there it stays

Instead we like Christo

wrap our tables in plastic

And our installation piece --

Pots and dishes set out for one week

Valerie, Israel: Visiting the consulate in Jerusalem has always been a nightmare for me. Recently it has changed to making appointments to get your passports renewed, and is much smoother. Altho I also had to go to the social security office at the consulate recently, i looked it up on the website and there was no mention of anything Israeli, a week before Rosh Hashana...I was also surprised...the social security office doesn't need an appointment and after the thorough security check, which was unpleasant, the clerk was quite helpful... I agree w/Sherri about not feeling welcome...and hope it gets better..
Jerry, Florida: Lowell: you’re right. Passport-losing visitors (like me) get expedited service. Olim need on-line appointments. Ben: because I praised our consulate 1 day after Hag and disagreed (politely, not harshly), with a “known righteous woman”, I’m therefore not religious? Amazing ad-hominem shtuyot. Rx: Logic 101. For Seth our consulate is a “racist, anti-Semitic, disgusting perversion”, oy vey. (4 slanderous epithets.) The only obnoxious behavior I saw was by kvetchers in line, some sporting kippot. I saw consular staff treat all equally: the bare-headed, the kippa'd, and the hijab'd.
Lowell Blackman, Ramat Ilan, Israel: Poor Sherry. But let us be honest: the Consul General in Jerusalem really serves as the ambassador for the Palestinian state-in-waiting and that, in part, goes a long way to explaining a subtle, but perceptible air of unfriendliness towards American residents in Israel – especially those from the territories. A quick look at the post-State Dept careers of a number of former consuls in Jerusalem tells the story. To wit, there is Edward Abingdon, who almost immediately became a chief lobbyist for Yasser Arafat and the PA and a harsh, mean-spirited critic of Israel.
