Shabbat Shalom for October 29, 2026

Shabbat shalom, everyone.

It's our third Shabbat together! This is a weekly thread where we come together at the end of the week to share.

Tell others about yourself. Say something that's alive in you, your thoughts, feelings, something on your mind.

Whatever this Shabbat looks like for you, you’re welcome at this table.

If you're intimidated, one sentence is plenty, or more if you feel like sharing. The thread will be here afterwards if you want to come back to it.

This has been a rough week for me. I have been pretty sick the last few days. I had two health scares, one on Wednesday night and one on Thursday morning that almost had me going to the hospital.

That's on top of the mess that was the Israeli elections and how awful the outcome was, and knowing what that means for the Jewish people as a whole.

The death of Walter Koenig and Patrick Stewart hit me pretty hard too.

One thing that has gone especially well this week is Rugela's development. Things are going really strong with the team and I feel good about the direction we're going. There's so much to do, and I often feel like we're not moving fast enough, but then I collect the data for the weekly bake and realize just how much we accomplish. It's often that features that "just appear" like search take weeks of planning so they seem slow to me, but when I lift the cloth to reveal them, it feels like magic. And the site is feeling more and more livable. So that's good.

But it's been quite the week!
