We were supposed to be travelling up north for a relaxing Sabbath, but after the car rear-ended us before the traffic circle barely 200 meters from our house, and my eldest complained that her back hurt her, it was clear it wasn’t going to happen.
Throw in a wife who’s pregnant (thus necessitating 24-hour supervision at the hospital), and you have all the ingredients for anything but a relaxing Sabbath.
On the positive side, we are all alive. And that is a huge positive.
I want to express my deepest gratitude to the Creator of the Universe for sparing us, my brother-in-law Eli and his wife Briana for all their help (including coming to the hospital to help, and hosting me and the kiddies for the entire Sabbath), as well as the ambulance team, and all the medical staff at Hadassah Ein Kerem for their professionalism.
