We had a total lunar eclipse on Purim which according to the Talmud is a bad simon (sign) for Yisrael. HOWEVER, this is Purim and things are NOT as they APPEAR on Purim!! And also Pesach is coming! :) B'H
Who is "yaak"?
I'm a half-Sepharadi, half-Ashkenazi, Haredi Zionist. I hope that clears it all up. :-)
I went to a Haredi elementary school, a mixed Haredi/modern high school, Haredi Yeshiva in Israel, and back to a mixed Yeshiva after that. I have a masters degree in computer science and Semicha.
BA"H Mash'ala, I'm married to a wonderful wife with 6 great children.
Hoping to meet each one of my readers in Yerushalayim when we are Olim LeRegel there very soon...

Yisroel
IFT and Neshama, thanks!
Yisroel, The Gemara (Sukkah 29a) also says that when we're doing Hashem's will, we don't have to worry about these things (like lunar eclipses).
(This might be another Peshat in Hakol Bidei Shamayim Hutz MiYir'at Shamayim)
Anyways, Yisroel, I like your optimism. Yes, Pesach is coming.
