A broken shoulder and a painful farewell to a beloved dog

Shai Kaplan, who traveled to India with a brain tumor and had already come to terms with her fate, is the focus of the article that gives the headline its emotional frame. The piece also gathers several unrelated opinion, culture, and reportage items, but the central human-interest story is about loss, illness, and an attachment that became harder to bear after an injury.

In that personal account, Kaplan says she broke her shoulder and that what saddens her most is being forced to part with her beloved dog. The article presents that as the deepest consequence of the injury, more painful to her than the physical harm itself.

The broader text includes commentary and columns on Israeli politics and society, among them criticism of the Bennett-Lapid partnership, an argument that Israeli liberals are not truly liberal, and a report that the state is preventing about 1,000 pilots and flight attendants from voting. It also mentions a fire in Tzipori that threatened centuries-old olive trees, and a warning that a blaze destroyed cultivated groves there.

Other items referenced include an analysis by Tzvi Barel on Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s Middle East map that casts Israel as the main threat, a complaint that no world leader has been treated as disrespectfully by Donald Trump as others have, and several cultural recommendations and opinion pieces. These range from a review of an album that immediately grabbed the listener, to an article about genocide testimony, and another about a relationship shaped by a partner’s fixation on Russian women.
