Just as the weather was getting quite hot, people had begun to irrigate their lawns, suddenly winter came back with a vengeance. Enormous amounts of rain during the last week. We even had a mini tornado in northen Israel. Anyhow besides a few tragedies due to the weather conditions, the rain is definately a wonderful blessing. The gardens are looking brighter, and much of the dust has been washed away. So now I'm optimistic that during the Pesach holiday season, the sun will be smiling on little Israel and its citizens and tourists will surely enjoy beautiful and sunny spring days.
