Been thinking about you a lot these days, and was wondering when you'd be returning home. Delighted that it will be soon. I've so enjoyed your blog...even though I didn't tell you that very often! You are a gifted writer and I hope you'll do even more than a blog when you return! Can't wait to help you unpack your experiences even more! Big hugs...safe travel...see you soon! Love, Lynn =)

Beautiful Blog...
Thanks for sharing this great blog. Sounds like this was an incredible end of the year trip. So many transitions going on, including your own. What a beautiful gift you were given this year and it's great to see how much you learned, experienced and how much you inspired. Can't wait to hear more about it. N'siya tova, Debbie

Shalom Rabbi Lisa, Nessiya tovah v'b'shalom! I leave for Israel just as you return. Your blogs, so beautifully written, have made me long for some of the experiences you shared with us, the places you visited, the people you met, the challenging issues you grappled with to name just a few. I loved how you raised questions for us to consider and shared the projects you worked on with your Fellows. What an awesome and vibrant country you described. I hope you will continue your writing since you have found another gift. nina

I can't believe your year is coming to an end! I'm wondering what your last blog entry will "look like". What a great journal you will have to look over in years to come of this past year. Hope the welts have healed and I can't wait to see you!!!

Your project
hi Lisa, I would love to meet for a walk or something when you are back and learn more about the details of the project. I can see the potential for other application perhaps in the broader community. Sadly, it won't have the same soundtrack as our Jerusalem wallk--the churchbells, call to prayer and davening from the shul, but it will have to do! :)

Oh Lisa, what amazing experiences you've had. Thank you so much for keeping us posted along the way. Many of us are eager to welcome you back to San Diego. I for one will miss your postings which served to remind me how much there is to learn and experience at every stage of life and career. Travel safely and have a gentle re-entry. Lenore

Your flower is of a plant both lovely AND delicious! It is Capparis spinosa, also known as the caper! Mmmm....capers...I haven't had capers in a long time. I swear, the more I read your blog, the more I am convinced that Israel is indeed the promised land! =) I hope you are savoring every yummy thing that Israel has to offer... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capparis_spinosa

I am once again amazed at the breadth and depth of your experience. I agree with you that it is so difficult to stretch the heart but it's heartening to know that some like you are trying. It gives hope for what seems like an almost hopeless situation. I just finished Danny Gordis's Saving Israel which speaks to many of the themes your visit raised. Thinkiing of you, Lenore

I really enjoyed your post about Mandel, Hebron, etc. It was so detailed and gave wonderful insight to what is going on in that part of the world. My blog is looking for travel reviews (including fantastic social commentary like yours!), photos, etc, to share with other travelers. If you have the time, check it out at dirty-hippies.blogspot.com, or email me at dirtyhippiesblog@gmail.com. Continued fun on your travels! Heather :)

Correction
Apparently, my source for the number of Holocaust survivors in Israel was incorrect and I didn't verify it for myself. There are about 207,000 survivors who currently live in Israel. Thanks for Miriam Iosupovici for pointing out the mistake!

Pesach
Dear Rabbi Lisa! Chag Pesach sameach and safe travels to and from LA! I haven't told you lately how much I love your blog about the scenery, experiences and thoughts you share with us. I am homesick for Israel, and my brain enjoys turning over the questions you pose. nina

When you figure out how to have an actual conversation about big issues like that, please share your secret with me! I have noticed the same thing in various areas of my own life and have wondered recently whether it's possible for people to actually have such conversations. And I find that even though I am aware of it, I'm not necessarily as open as I should be. I recognize that mainly I'm trying to win people over to my side, but that it feels a bit hollow b/c neither side is saying anything the other doesn't already know (the shouting of slogans you mentioned) and no progress is made. I would love to know the secret of being truly open-minded and respectful, and how to have a productive conversation on touchy subjects!

Lisa, I agree with Glenda--this is particularly moving and phenomenal. The variety of people you talk about--that you have had the chance to meet and interact with--is awesome. And I really like your comments on teaching/learning from the seminar of what NOT to teach--definitely a provocative title! I think it's so true what you said about finding truth, and knowing that even "alternate" views don't necessarily undermine your own viewpoint or group. This is true in so many areas, from religion to science to politics. And you got to see the Church of the Nativity! So jealous! =)

Happy Passover
Hi Lisa, JJ and I are in Washington DC which always makes me appreciate the freedom that we all enjoy. While you were at the Knesset, I was listing to Prime Minister Netanyahu (as well as Hillary Clinton, Tony Blair and many others at the AIPAC conference. ) Thank you for your beautiful message! Love, Marjory
