Thus Ends Kerry's Nine-Month Time-frame

29 Nisan 5774
Day 14 of the Omer

Here in Israel, we are now in the closing minutes of the final hour of US Secretary of State John Kerry's nine-month time-frame for concluding the "peace process."  Although I suppose they'll probably run the clock on out til midnight when their date changes over. 

For me though, it's Erev Rosh Chodesh Iyar Alef - another day on the Hebrew calendar full of the possibility and expectation of the ultimate redemption.
