Rosh HaShana 5777

The hectic pace that has been my life for the past month-and-a-half can be expected to continue.  Burn-out has begun to take a small toll, but work remains interesting and fulfilling thus far.  Commensurate with my degree of inspiration, this posting's commentary on world affairs will be terse.

Firstly, it is that time again.  In less than two weeks the year according to the Hebrew calendar will transition from 5776 to 5777.  As usual, I take this opportunity to wish all a Happy and a Healthy New Year; I may not have the opportunity to do so before.

Secondly, now that the series of Islamic terror attacks has hit American soil, if you are or have been given to censuring Israel for the measures it takes to protect its population and its existence, then cut it with the whining and start recognizing what you are dealing with.
