In Israel on Monday a happy couple tied the knot. Plans had been carefully made over many months. Families and friends travelled from near and far. Love was in the air despite the ongoing war.
War, though, had other plans, as it often does.
As the couple was about to take their places at the altar air raid sirens could be heard. Those of us watching safely via YouTube live stream were in shock. Voices could be heard in English and in Hebrew. Where is the nearest shelter?
Someone shared the livestream would be on pause while they took care of a “small problem.”
Those of us on the other side of the world held our breath and prayed.
Five minutes later the celebration was back on.
Which brings me to my hope…even in the midst of war, couples still get married and babies are born. Happiness can happen in the middle of tragedy.
Mazel Tov, Y and M! May you have many years of happiness together.
