The Voice of the Turtledove: "There are no Palisades"

"As I'm coming down the middle of the night -- no lights. I didn't know where it was on PCH, because all of the landmarks are gone.

You don't know what street you've crossed; you don't know which house you've passed.

It's -- it's just done. It's all done.

You don't -- even --- yeah, you feel a little guilty if your house is still standing, kind of. But, you know so happy.

And it's not the house. It's just stuff in your house. And it's the house.

But -- I don't, I don't know. I mean, what is, what's --

Are these houses going to stay? This is only houses.

Where do people go to school?

I mean, we spend our lives in the Palisades.

There are no Palisades. It's done.

Pacific Palisades right now could just be taken off the map.

It's -- there is no Pacific Palisades."

~ Director Jon Turteltaub (wearing a "Jericho" hat), January 9, 2025

There are no Palisades. It's done.

Nicknamed The Palisades and Pali by surfers and locals, the Palisades coast spans from after Sorrento Beach in Santa Monica to the south, and ends at Sunset Point Beach and Malibu to the north. Beaches along the Pacific Palisades coast include: Will Rogers State Beach, Sunset Point Beach, and one of the few unofficially gay beaches in Los Angeles, Ginger Rogers Beach.

The name "Pacific Palisades" comes from the term "palisades", a geological formation consisting of a series of cliff-like bluffs situated by a body of water, in this case the Pacific Ocean, and also for the area's purported resemblance to The Palisades, located in New Jersey on the west side of the lower Hudson River.[12]

A palisade, sometimes called a stakewall or a paling, is typically a row of closely placed, high vertical standing tree trunks or wooden or iron stakes used as a fence for enclosure or as a defensive wall. Palisades can form a stockade.

Song of Solomon 2

10. My beloved speaks and says to me, Arise, my love, my beautiful one, and come away:
11. For, behold, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone:
12. The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing bird has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land:
13. The fig tree puts forth her green figs, and the vines in blossom give forth their scent; Arise, my love, my beautiful one, and come away:
14. O my dove, in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the cliff, let me see your countenance, let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet, and your countenance is comely:

Zechariah 8:19. Thus says the Lord of hosts; The fast of the fourth month, and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth, shall become times of joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts to the house of Judah; therefore love truth and peace:

Today, January 10, 2025:

The Tenth of Tevet (Asara B'Tevet) is a fast day which commemorates the beginning of the seige of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar's armies, which eventually led to the First Temple's destruction and the Babylonian Exile. A number of other tragedies occurred in Jewish history on nearby dates. The Tenth of Tevet will next be observed on January 10, 2025, from dawn until nightfall.

The date of the Tenth of Tevet is recorded for us by the prophet Yechezkel, who himself was already in Babylonia as part of the first group of Jews exiled there by Nebuchadnezzar, 11 years earlier than the actual destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem itself.

The Tenth of Tevet is viewed as such a severe and important fast day that it is observed even if it falls on a Friday (erev Shabbat), while our other fast days are so arranged by calendar adjustments as to never fall on a Friday, so as not to interfere with Shabbat preparations.
