On the Occasion of Sukkot,

In my name and in the name of all residents of Tarshicha I wish you a happy holiday, and true peace. We are all people with the same human values. We were born to the same father and it is our desire to live a normal life, especially at this difficult time. In these days of bloodshed of innocent people…it is necessary to meet and talk in order to understand each other. Educate each other. So that we can live together in true co-existence of Jews and Arabs in such a beautiful area, the Switzerland of the country. May we be blessed with true peace. We must not lose hope because without hope there is no life. Together we will strive for, pray for and work towards a normal life, because we deserve it.

Blessings.

We visited the Sukkat Shalom and got an explanation from Judah about the Sukkot holiday and its customs. We helped decorate the sukkah. It was fun to feel connected to the Sukkat Shalom.

Lots of luck! Thank you,

Blessings and heartfelt wishes and in the words of Kohelet son of David (Ecclesiastes)…

A time to mourn and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones and a time
To gather stones together;
A time to love and a time to hate;
A time for war and a time for peace.

Please accept my sincere blessings on this holiday,
"the holiday of our joy"’ the holiday of gathering.
Until we reach the safe shore together,

Nimr Nimr, Horfesh
