A few days ago, Israel did something rather routine. It discovered a terror tunnel that had been dug from inside Gaza to inside Israel. It blew the tunnel to smithereens. Apparently, there were men working inside and they were killed. Oops. Logically, if someone is breaking the law and digging …
When you have a child, the weight of the world is on your shoulders. Amid the physical issues of labor, exhaustion, learning the child and so much more, is the awesome responsibility of the first few days. You will be making a decision that will effect that child’s life, every …
We have to learn to accept, to deal, if not to heal. So, I’m here. I’m dealing. I have six million shadows walking with me. I feel them and the Germans see them.
