Joseph Zitt's [as if in dreams] 2024-10-07
Hi. I'm Joseph Zitt. I moved from the US to Israel in 2017. This is my newsletter about more-or-less daily life in my city in the shadow of war. You can select these links to subscribe or unsubscribe. There are more links at the bottom. You can also read this email online here. Here we go...
Alarm. Those of us in the memorial event are headed fairly calmly into the shelter
Nasrin (who runs the kitchen) is distributing cups of water.
The musician has come in, playing Hava Nagila on the accordion.
The people in wheelchairs are around the edge. Some more mobile people are dancing in the center.
Ten minutes have passed. All clear. The accordionist, still playing, is guiding us out of the shelter, though the staff has said that those who wish to remain there a bit longer are welcome to stay.
Feel free to forward the newsletter to other people who might be interested.
Here’s an archive of past newsletters.
You can find me via email, Bluesky, Mastodon, Facebook, and, just out of inertia, X/Twitter. There's more about me and my books, music, and films at josephzitt.com.
The newsletter’s official mailing address is 304 S. Jones Blvd #3567, Las Vegas NV 89107. (I’m in Israel, but if physical mail comes to me at that Las Vegas address, it’ll get scanned and emailed. I don’t expect that to happen much. If you want to send me physical mail, ask me for a real address.)
