I'll never forget it. Luckily, only a few signs were pulled out of the ground but it was terrifying.<br /><br />The Torah tells us that everything happening the world over happens for the sake of Am Yisrael. We've had so many unearthly events this year the world over: sudden mudslides covering up entire villages; horrific earthquakes and floods killing thousands and leaving hundreds of thousands homeless.<br /><br />Perhaps Hashem is hinting to us that those in Galut should skedaddle home to Israel now and that we should all do teshuva? Perhaps Ben David is about to make an appearance soon? Halevi!

I've felt the tremor of a mild earthquake here but felt more shook up when there were explosions next to our Jerusalem apartment to dig out for a new building.Batyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09402874037427009327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-60210287439555086172010-09-21T18:33:23.029+02:002010-09-21T18:33:23.029+02:00I have been through some earthquakes and tremors h...I have been through some earthquakes and tremors here in Israel but never through a tornado.<br /><br />The closest I got was arriving in a southern US town for a business trip one day after a tornado passed through. It was much worse than these pics. Tree weren't only knocked over; they were crumbled into splinters. The trees looked like cookies stepped on by Godzilla, as he passed through the town.<br /><br />Shivers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
