A new chapter has begun in Israel and the world. There are deliberations and disputations going on both in Heaven and Earth. It is not by coincidence that the Daf Yomi read by thousands over the world discussed the book of Gittin (Divorce) towards the end of the year and Kiddushin (marriage) towards the beginning of the year. Much of the blessings and curses that we have been experiencing we can almost see being discussed in each weekly Parsha along with the Oral Torah. I am writing this down as a record of things I see and witness and suggest may be happening between the headlines. It is a work in progress.
