Good on You!
Karen, I have thoroughly vicariously enjoyed your trip to Israel and Jordan. It was great to see your perspective on the problems faced by the Israelis. I hope you don't mind but I forwarded your e-mail with blog to my Rabbi as I think she will enjoy it greatly. She has a brother in Israel who is also a Rabbi and she makes a trip there every year. I miss seeing you at Hurley so send me an e-mail from time to time to let me know how you are doing in warm, sunny California. Carole

Israel was a marvelous experience, and I hope you get there soon. I plan on going back - there was so much I didn't get to see.
