Thanksgiving/ Hanukah.

Someone asked me to write a post about Thanksgiving on my Facebook page  . Cool. I do take requests. I am just getting up to a cold New England morning in the first official, American town, Wethersfield ,Connecticut and the town where George Washington met French General Rochambeau to plan the seige of Yorktown . By the way, the Wethersfield sign is the onion, yea it transferred onions around the world by the Connecticut river. I am just putting on Turkish coffee , a gift from my Daughter Shanee who lives in Israel and says the coffee here is not strong enough. Yesterday, I heard that Israeli Icon Arik Einstein passed away. I know his songs well , and watched him on Israeli TV many times. I am listening to his music on YouTube. In this world where Israel is boycotted and also appreciated , they get their message out by social media. Looking on his passing away, we only then realize what we missed. Arik, always showed love in his music , even in the hardest times in Israel, he showed us that there is a new Israeli culture, and it is beautiful. Period. We also have the debate between my president Barak Obama and my daughters prime minister BiBi Netanyau. Bibi, with a new Israeli and Jewish freedom of speech he gained with the help of America, negates Obama's policy, and rightly so. So Obama is calling him to the USA - as a true friend and partner, to discuss the debate about nuclear weapons and Iran. My father Felix Alster was a Holocaust survivor , in his wildest dreams his generation would never have expected the Jewish people to arise to such a level that they are a world player with the USA , Great Britain France and Germany on the world stage. Guess what , these are the same nations present at the Battle of Yorktown and now all allies. For me it is going to be a great Thanks giving .
