Greetings from Dallas. I made it back all safe and sound. Not much to report. I spent Thursday night in Zurich and got the Zurich-to-Dallas flight the next morning. I will say that it was hard to listen to French/German on my short stay over in Zurich. I had been concentrating so hard on Hebrew […]
(read more)This is my last day in Israel. I am sad, but I know I will be back again. I pray that Will and I have given clear and accurate information on what is going on in Israel. It has been such a blessing to be here. Everyone is so grateful that an American is here […]
(read more)It is Tuesday morning and I am already counting down to when I leave Israel. I leave on Thursday, also known as the 9th of Av and for me it will be so sad. On the 9th of Av, Jews all over the world will be fasting, reading Lamentations, and weeping because of the destruction […]
(read more)The Jerusalem Post has a wonderful article by Charles Krauthammer in today’s paper. Really, the consensus is that Israel should stay the course and finish the job with Hizbollah.

(read more)Will and I head North today. We spend a quiet Saturday in Netanya on the beach. If I had not watched the TV or read the newspaper, I would not know that any kind of “War” is going on in Israel. Haifa is about 2 hours, by car, from Jerusalem. Netanya is about an hour […]
(read more)It is Friday and Shabbat (Sabbath) will begin at sundown. I will say it again, I love watching Shabbat happen. Everyone is hurrying around getting their errands finished, their homes are getting clean and the best meal of the week is being prepared. Flowers are bought on Friday for the Shabbat table. I love seeing […]
(read more)It is a beautiful morning in Jerusalem. Will ended up in Kiryat Shmona yesterday with two others from Bridges for Peace. They delivered cases of green beans, powdered milk, diapers, canned pasta, etc. The army soldiers were so excited to get the food. They will distribute it where it is needed most and the best […]
(read more)It is Wednesday and Will is headed up North with Bridges for Peace to deliver some care packages. They will deliver them to the Army and then the Army will distribute to those in need. You can help by donating to Bridges for Peace. Another way is to send Pizza to the soldiers. Check out […]
(read more)It is Tuesday morning in Jerusalem, and I am trying to digest all the news that I have watched since returning here. Fox News still seems to be the most balanced. Forget CNN and the BBC—what a bunch of junk! Again they are blaming the Israelis for this mess. I did not want to watch […]
