Cold Winter in Europe: Following the war in Ukraine, Europe is expected to have a particularly difficult winter due to a lack of energy, which has already led to a spike in the prices of natural gas and electricity. There are already countries that have issued energy saving regulations. For example, that you should not wash your hands in hot water, that you should shower very quickly, that you should not turn on the heating in the house without limits, and many other similar examples. And I ask myself, how is it that we have reached the 21st century and thousands are going to freeze because of an energy problem in Europe, the heart of civilization? • Mother and Baby Test Tube Error: A woman who underwent a vitro fertilization procedure at Assuta Hospital accidentally discovered in the seventh month that the hospital had made a mistake and returned to her womb an embryo from another couple. Now there is an argument around this mistake, who should be the baby’s parents? Perhaps we humans have gone a little too far in playing the role of God? • Only Such Human Warmth Can Defeat All Hatred and Wars: What gives a person strength to turn such a tragic family disaster into something positive, into love for the rest of their life? Three-year-old Fouad from the village of Wadi Ara was run over to death about two weeks ago near his home. His parents decided to donate his organs to save six children and teenagers, Arabs and Jews. Fouad's mother said, "Your death carries a message of love and rapprochement between religions." And when I hear about cases like this, about families like this, I say to myself, wow, only from here will peace come. From opening your heart, and simply helping others, in what you can. • Youth in Crisis: About two and a half years after the outbreak of the corona virus and following the closures and social isolation, there was an increase of more than 20 percent in the hospitalization of teenagers in psychiatric wards and the use of anti-depressant and anxiety medications. When this happens to you at home, when your boy or girl goes into deep depression, and for many months is barely able to communicate with others, as a parent it completely wears you down. Perhaps you could give me some guidance on how to deal with this reality? • The Hijab Protests in Iran: Since the death of Mahsa Amini, a young Iranian woman who was arrested and tortured for not properly wearing her headscarf, unprecedented mass protests have erupted in Iran in dozens of cities, including the capital Tehran. The demonstrators are confronting the security forces and currently over eighty are reported dead and over a thousand arrested. And it doesn't stop. The government rules through intimidation and suddenly you see young women without a veil in front of the police, young men confronting the security forces. As if they have lost their fear. What is happening to the Iranians, for more than forty years they have been under the regime of the ayatollahs. Do you think they will succeed in overthrowing the regime? • Yom Kippur: It feels like the whole world needs some soul-searching. This year, Yom Kippur falls on a period of fear and insecurity in Israel and the world. The war in Ukraine is developing and there is a fear that it will turn into a nuclear war. In Iran and other countries there are riots, and in other countries they are suffering from hunger. The West is facing an unprecedented economic and political crisis. It feels like the whole world needs some soul-searching. • The Wonders of Singing: Researchers in Finland tested the health effects that singing in a choir has on young and old people. The researchers found that choir members performed better psychologically and cognitively, and had better social skills compared to healthy non-singing adults. And I can tell you personally, in our family we really like to sing. To tell about my aunts… Why do we like to sing together? What is it about music in general and singing in particular that fulfills us and maybe even heals us?
