Day 178 (Shabbos Nachamu)

It was a nice, restful Shabbos. I read the parsha and was left with warm fuzzies. Someway, somehow, even the Consuming Fire bits were reassuring, and the כור הברזל (smelting furnace? iron crucible?) was a good reminder that the terrible stuff is well and truly terrible, but heroes are forged through horrors. That was my fleeting thought this time, anyway. A very nice lead out of Tisha B’Av, and the haftorah really did make me feel better.


Motzei Shabbos was a lot of packing, of course, and I got a scary text that the internet guys would show up hours before I would, but we powered through.
