Very sick

Free palm branches at road junction
for those who want to build a sukkah

Today is bad. Fainted 3 times this morning. Very disoriented ... and leaning towards the left. Matthias accompanied me to the clinic but the doctor was not in. Maybe I'll have to go to the hospital. But I can't make it alone. Will see if I'm better in the next few hours before making a decision. I guess it could be exhaustion as I was working from 3am to 8pm yesterday. But again it could be blood pressure or many other reasons. The night before my left arm was numb and the wrist and palm hurt very much. I was wondering if these are signs of a coming heart attack or stroke.

Sukkoth is in its 2nd day. There's an interesting article on the Samaritans and how they celebrate Sukkoth. http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4867134,00.html

Yesterday police arrested 10 boys who were throwing stones and Molotov cocktails at passersby down our street. Jews going to the Wailing Wall and tourists were in danger of getting hurt. So the police took swift action. There are at the moment thousands of zionist christians in town ... all are here for the feast of Sukkoth. They believe that the prophecy of Zechariah 14:16-18 is fulfilled when all the non-jews come to Jerusalem to celebrate Sukkoth, hence enabling the Messiah to come. However one of the things they must do is to destroy the Al Aqsa and Dome of the Rock mosques ... to purify the Temple Mount for the Messiah ... and this will inevitably lead to clashes with the muslims.

There's a great short video-documentary on the divided society of Israel. You should have a look to understand the complicated situation of Jerusalem.
