In honor of Rabbi Tzvi Kogan Z´L

Like the grass on the lava, like the flower on the platform, like the prickly pears in the desert, like a sprout in the middle of winter, I am a Jew and I will resist.
Like a bird that never migrates, like a lynx that crouches, like vines that replicate themselves, like a warrior who does not give up, I am a Jew and I will not remain silent.
And here we are…dancing in squares, fulfilling the dream, paying the price, praying to heaven, watering desires, searching for pearls in the deserts.
We keep falling, bleeding, dying… Yesterday it was my father. Tomorrow, my grandson.
Fresh blood, open wound. It is my torment and your amusement. It is a game that never ends, in which I am always losing and on the way I lose my voice, and on the way I find God.
And here we are…dancing in the squares, fulfilling the dream, paying the price, praying to heaven, watering our desires, searching for pearls in the deserts. Sad fate, sweet song, and this utopia is over.
It is very beautiful and great. Happiness. Amen.
What will happen with the agreed upon truce conditions while December and January pass, that is, while the Christmas bonuses, Christmas, Holy Innocents' Day, New Year's Day, Three Kings' Day, cabañuelas, fairs and festivals, etc. pass around the world?
If the Lord spent 40 days and 40 nights in the desert, it means that the desert is a good place to 'stay'. For the Israelites, it will be 40 days and 40 nights of visiting the synagogue and the dentist and another 20 of traveling around Gaza, in a circular circle.
For Hamas, it will be another 60 days without meat. For Hezbollah, it will be whatever Allah and Ali Khamenei want. // **** https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hezbol%C3%A1
For the UN, it would be 60 days and 60 nights of 'rest', perhaps, to gather rosaries, elect the new General Assembly and the new Secretary General, and gather ideas to change the name of UNWRA in February. To return to calm waters, they will have to cancel the inhospitable arrest warrants and heal the wound of their dead. It is important that they do not remain 'resentful'.

Reflection:
If all goes well, Israel will once again be accepted. There will be no need for court-ordered tests, or polygraph tests for its leaders, no validation of titles to Gaza, no onerous procedures. Everything will be virtual, with Artificial Intelligence (AI). That will be a very worthy dream.
Our prayers and condolences, may he rest in peace, Rabbi Tzvi Kogan Z´L.
Amen and amen.
