the fun of blogs Dear Mari,
We're so glad that you felt that being with us, as family and community, was the right thing for you during the holidays. Thanks for making it all the more whole and meaningful and warm. Hugs and enjoy the rest of your semester! Alex
Very cool! I was just skimming around some blogs and happened upon this one by absolute accident. I'm delighted that I did! My daughter, Shira, has been designing the Insect Safari as a student at Kibbutz Ketura (the Arava Institute). She told me that while she was on semester break others would be building the site. And look! It was you! I LOVED seeing the photos ... I was having a hard time visualize it. Thanks so much for posting such a newsy blog, with lots of wonderful pictures.
plans? Hey MARIIII i miss youuuu... what are your plans for next year and stuff? will you still be in israel maybe hopefully.. because i will be there!
memories Fun to see this, reminds me of my summer on Kibbutz Usha in 1976. My daughter is your age now and went to Israel with Birth Right. Enjoyed your posts.
