Many of my wonderful readers don't yet know it, but we were almost separated for good forever over the Holiday season. Just before Hanukah began, I was to give a speech before Amit Women in Deerfield Beach, Florida. A decent crowd arrived and I don't remember one detail of the evening. Not a detail. I know that authoress, Aliza Basmenachem, honored me with her presence onstage. I know that I flopped on stage and that had never happened in hundreds of previous speeches. And I know that I had planned a romantic tryst with my better half and I forgotten all about it...and that's what brought me to the emergency room of Flagler Hospital. After forgetting about the forgetting of the weekend before, we put a sock in it. Within days, I had a double bypass, a valve replacement, and I spent three days in deep outer space when an anaesthetic sent me on a trip through atrial fibrillation. Meaning, I was out of my mind.

       With control almost gone, I still promised my good mate a divorce before she got stiffed with the impossible medical bill.

       It was complicated, nearly fatal surgery, and without you I was a cooked goose. Alone, I wouldn't have made it. The friends who called from all over the world, and especially Israel, provided the morale to survive the pain. And WE decided, we will eventually move to Israel, but give it some time because the surgeons gave me 30 more years...just in the nick of time.

       Only for me, I decided to reward my saviors. Thanks to one of my Israeli publishers, David Perkins, I had and gave out over $2000 in signed books. I know it's not going to make a difference in the actual bill, my humiliation is coming, but I honor my work and I'm no mooch. Thank you for saving my life doctors, nurses and staff of Flagler Hospital of Saint Augustine.

       The system is sick and it will be fixed. It can't go on this way forever.

       And if Israel wasn't just as sick, I would never have come to Florida and seen the prospect of living to a proper old age. I wish it wasn't so, but my years of research will be verified over time. Yes, forces that Israelis shove to the backs of their minds for now; forces as "obscure" as the Sabbatainism and the Vatican, will come out into the open for all, even me, to see.

        I wish it wasn't true that Labor Zionism hadn't of taken over the movement for Jewish liberation just as the Holocaust had begun. I wish they never signed the Transfer Agreement with the Nazis to commemorate the moment. And, after recording the details of years of Labor Zionist political murders, and the abuse of Sephardic children in the 50s, how I wish, given a straight choice, there was no Holocaust and no Israel.

        But there was a Holocaust and there is an Israel. And, dear readers, it looks like we'll be watching them together for many years to come.
