There is not and has never been a system of apartheid in Israel. I ask you to show some common sense. Get information from the Israeli embassy. Ask for some speakers. Listen to more than one side. Do not make your minds up until you have given a fair hearing to both parties.
Mrs. Hammer taught me a whole lot more than math. She taught me about me. She opened up a world to me that I did not know existed. And, she ingrained in me the self-confidence I needed to succeed as a student. She taught me about growth and how to deal with failure.
Tragically, the arson attack on Beit Meir resulted in the loss of over 2,000 works of art over a span of 40 years. How do you cope with such a devastating blow? Yoram and Meira Raanan found one way. While the paintings were forever lost, we are all blessed that photos of many of the paintings remain.
The big debate in Israel today is a rather silly one. It’s seriously a serious topic but the silly part is thinking that any of us have a say in whether or not there will be a war. I’m not even convinced the Israeli government has a say in it, …

You know how you read a story and it touches your heart and how the one thought that keeps going through your mind is, “I can’t imagine.” That was my reaction when I read the words of Tal Ovadia.
Oh yes, that’s where Israel is right now. Slipping from July into August, we are grinding to a halt, surrendering to the heat. Clearly, vacation is on our minds and September and the holidays is a million miles (and days) away. Happy Summer, Israel!
Like Shay Koplovich‘s experience with his and several other visiting families below, wife Miri and I also spent a wonderful, relaxing Shabbat at Kibbutz Alumim, alongside Gaza.
