L'shana tova. Frida Ghitis writes from Israel:

     While Israel’s economy is not growing at a break-neck pace, anyone who thinks the world is int near-depression should take a stroll down Tel Aviv’s trendy Dizengoff Road, or visit any of the always-busy markets here. In an hour the entire country will grow quiet with everyone heading home to celebrate Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year. The hush at sundown will break the bustle that shows Israel’s emergence from recession. But there’s catch.
