Doreen & Eitan's homepage

Today is Rosh Hashanah - the start of the Jewish New Year. As every New Year we reflect on the past year and express our hopes for the coming year. Last year's achievements and pleasures have been overshadowed by the dread of the Covid pandemic during the last 7 months. In spite of the difficulties, cuts in income, restricted movement and other precautions our family's spirits remain high and we meet physically as often as we safely can and electronically almost every day.
On the larger scale, our country is in a mess. Our prime minister's priority is evading his looming corruption trials and everything else takes second place to this. Our Covid infection rate is soaring and from yesterday we are in partial lockdown with of course political concessions especially to the ultra-orthodox. Normalization and "peace" with UAE and Bahrein is certainly an achievement (despite its obvious political timimg both for Israel and USA) but the real problem of peace with the Palestinians is nowhere near solution.
We can only hope that the coming year will reverse the frustrations and disappointments of the last few months.

We wish all our family and friends happiness, success and above all good health in the year ahead of us. Le'shana tova!

Doreen's usual New Year letter is replaced this year by some thoughts on her hopes for the coming year. Read it here in her column.
