Emigration from England to South Africa
Chapter 11: Emigration from England to South Africa When we landed at Harwich this time there was no trouble with Customs. Out of the dock area our first need was to fill up with petrol and when we did so Nigel was very intrigued and said to me quietly so as not to hurt anyone’s feelings ‘Daddy, They all speak English here!’ Of course, as they were often during the day in Utrecht in the care of a Dutch nanny (after her marriage, Kitty had been replaced by ‘Babs’), they heard a lot of Dutch spoken and understood quite a bit. When Babs took them to the Wilhelminapark (where it was forbidden to walk on the grass!), she would take them to see the ducks and they knew them as ‘eendtjes’ and a passing horse would be referred to as ‘een paard’. Only two days after we returned to England Stuart was being a little fractious when being taken for a walk in his push-chair, or stroller as it seems to be now called, and we attempted to distract his attention from whatever was worrying him by pointing out a passing horse and cart by saying ‘Kijk, Stuart, een paard!’ he replied crossly ‘It isn’t a paard, it’s a horse!’ Life in England was obviously not going to easy because we did not have a home, we only had the car for a few days until I would have to hand it over to Dr Johnson, my replacement for the job in Holland, and all I had to build a practice around was my appointment at the Middlesex which thanks to the introduction of the National Health Service was paid now, but not enough to keep a wife and family of three children. -

Our Shabbos in Shebreshin
Our Shabbos in Shebreshin As Ashkenazim — Jews of Northern/Eastern European ances- try — we called it Shabbos; for the Mediterranean Sephardim, the word was Shabbat. It was our Sabbath, and it started on Fridays — to be exact, about six o’clock every Friday morning. I would hear my mother get out of bed and prepare herself for the big event of baking the bread that was to last all week. One day, as a young child, I too got up, announcing to my mother that I would go with her. She didn’t resist very much. She pulled down my nightshirt, took my hand, and led me in my bare feet across the few yards to my grandfather’s house. Grandma was already awake and moving about. The kitchen was brightly lit, the large brick stove and oven were fired up, and there were piles of sifted flour on the table. Some dough was already rising. The kitchen was adjacent to my grandparents’ bedroom, and the door was seldom closed. Zaida saw me coming in, smiled, and beckoned me to come join him in his bed. He put me on his chest. I buried my face in his beard. It smelled of spices. I closed my eyes and enjoyed the warmth. We watched the two women prepare the baking — sifting and kneading. First, the white flour for the twisted Shabbos challah and other white-dough baked goods; later, the dark rye OUR SHABBOS IN SHEBRESHIN 127 to bake in round loaves, sprinkled on top with caraway seeds. When fresh, the bread was soft and delicious. -

Meeting Minutes Gen. James Jones – Dr. Saeb Erekat White House, October 21, 2009
Meeting Minutes Gen. James Jones – Dr. Saeb Erekat White House, October 21, 2009 SE: Thanks for meeting us today. I am here to deliver a message from the president. He will issue the decree for presidential and legislative elections next week. On the 26th or 27th he will ask the Fatah Central Committee to choose a candidate. If they refuse, he will have to submit his resignation. I want to make it clear, he is not bargaining. He just wants to make sure you’re not surprised. He values your relationship. He trusts you. You, Barack Obama is what’s in it for us. The last few weeks have been troubling. He haven’t sat with you to strategize. And we know how much you need all these states. What’s been happening is that Israel, since Netanyahu, they don’t want to touch us. I had arranged to meet with Uzi Arad, and two hours before we were supposed to meet he cancelled. He cancelled 3 times – they are sorting things out, “need time”. I asked David Hale to arrange a meeting with Molcho. They haven’t taken a single step. I wanted to cut the story short: what are you willing to do? We meet with Israelis regularly – on security, irrespective of politics we will continue to uphold the rule of law, one authority one gun. No games like 2000. This is a commitment I delivered to Etan Dangot, Amos Gilad and to Uzi Arad by phone. Since April we’ve had nothing from them. Then came Goldstone and all hell broke loose. -
