Hatred cam move. It begins somewhere not far away, fueled by slogans, anger and revenge. And eventually it arrives somewhere completely different. Yesterday it reached a synagogue in Michigan.

Despite the war, despite the missile barrages, tomorrow I plan to go back to the gym. If I'm going to live through these absurd times, I might as well stay in shape for them.
Apparently some of the Iranian missiles landed in the sea. So naturally I started wonderingβ¦
From Thai spas⦠to Egyptian checkpoints⦠to the 63rd floor of a hotel in Dubai, watching missiles overhead. A post built from the stories of people stuck far from home.

No matter where you are, there are always those who just need to share their opinion.
A small update to the story I wrote about yesterday.

The Iranian regime fears many things. And apparently, silent women in football uniforms are one of them.

Tips from the safe room:
Singing in the shower is not recommended when a siren goes off.
Last night I dreamed that a siren woke me up. Thatβs when I realized that the war is no longer only outside, it Invaded into my subconscious.
I heard a rumor that in some places people wake up to emails and calendar reminders, and not to a storm of messages like these.
This illustration is dedicated to everyone who ever wondered what missiles do in their spare time. (I hope itβs not just me...).
Almost forty years later, the story of Ron Arad still hasnβt ended. Ron was an Israeli Air Force navigator who disappeared over Lebanon in 1986 and has never been found. To this day, the search continues...

While missiles fly above us and explosions echo in the distance, the music in our safe room is:

Last nightβs program included three sirens, a random number of missiles, and one very sleepless Nemo.
In times of war and chaos, beauty becomes a fragile thing. And thatβs exactly why it matters.
Wishing everyone a peaceful Shabbat and safer days ahead.
Things you learn after two and a half years of war: How to recognize different types of explosions, and estimate their distance from you- just by listening.
Thoughts from the safe room: Try to imagine what the world would look like if this concept didnβt exist -
Somewhere between the alerts and the interceptions, this post was written. Because in Israel, even a post needs a protected space. New illustrated notes from life on the Israeli home front.

With everything happening here and around the world, sometimes it feels like Iβve lost something along the way. Maybe itβs fatigue, or overload, or maybe itβs something that got buried in the noise.
In war, disinformation is another front. So not every narrative deserves your trust.
I realized yesterday that since the beginning of Operation Roaring Lion, I havenβt posted any illustrations. So Iβll begin sharing the ones I drew, between the shelling, and sometimes during it. This is the first.
Purim is the reminder to the smile, and to pass it on. Even when the script looks dark, because
the ending can surprise us.
Happy Purim.
Life in the shadow of war is written in commas, not complete sentences. Each part of the day exists in the pauses between sirens and distant explosions.
It seems we can take out the noisemakers. Yes, now itβs reported as official: Iranβs Supreme Leader has been killed. A modern Haman. History has strange timing.
Between the missile barrages, I found time for lunch. Good times.
Apparently due to Israeli attacks on Iran, sirens were activated throughout Israel.
