Summertime Blues turn into School Daze

August 31, 2011 - 8:32 AM by


The country as a whole made it through the summer of 2011 – one that will be remembered for a number of events:

- the tent city social uprising of protesters demanding fundamental changes to the way our society works.

- the arrest and indictment of Margalit Tsanani, the popular singer and TV star, for recruiting mobsters to threaten her manager, and for shady dealings on the Kochav Nolad (Star is Born) reality show.

- the infiltration and terror attack in and around Eilat leaving many victims, and raising tension on the Southern border.

And, of course, as we enter September, we have so many things to look forward to: threats of more potential attacks from Sinai, the whole Palestinian statehood question due to be presented at the UN, the future of relations with Turkey after the release of the Palmer Report on the Mavi Marmara incident, the results of the revolutions taking place in Syria and Libya, and the one issue that overshadows all the rest – the burgeoning Iranian nuclear threat.

But most Israelis will still be smiling when they wake up on September 1st. Because it means that school is back in session, and our kids are finally leaving the house after a two-month break in which many of us barely kept our sanity trying to keep them busy. Life is good.
