The following is a graffiti in the Exarchia neighborhood, famous as an anarchist center (where the riots started): “The revolution will take place tomorrow. If it rains, it will take place the day after” J
I don’t know if it’s the bad weather or just the movement losing its momentum, but tonight, the situation is very calm. There are still isolated incidents, but it really seems that the chaotic situation of the last days is coming to an end.
I will certainly welcome some nights of quiet sleep, while my children will appreciate the return to calm. They were somehow frightened by all the noise and explosions, and disturbed by the smell of the smoke. School was canceled for 2 days (today, it was back to normal), and the turmoil must have effected them. My daughter (8 years old) commented: “I don’t agree with the policeman that killed the boy, but I also don’t agree with the people who burn the shops!!!”

This is written in the Zohar in Parashat Balak
The Divine Spirit (HaShem) will go and return to Moshe Rabenu for 70 days. At the end of the 70 days, the pain of Am Israel (the Jewish People) will ascend to the Holy King. One Synagogue in the South will be destroyed and lost as well as five true Tzaddikim will be amomgst them dead.
At the end of the 32 days since the murder of the people in that synagogue, HaShem wil put on a garment of outrage and Mashiach ben Efraim will spread, like a ram whose horns go upwards.
And the Shofar will blow three times and a tremendous noise will desend on the world from the blowing of the Shofar and the Whole World Will See & Hear.
The Sitra Achara (the impurities) will be completely wiped from the Holy Land and Yishmael will make three wars with Mashiach. Then they will come and bow down to the Master of the Universe in Yerushalayim, and the wars will be in the sixth millenium.
End of the Zohar
