The lines through immigration were long. However, a rep of Moshe's came thru with a sign with my name and was yelling Mr. Berman. She walked me right through. Leave it to Moshe. He was there to meet me with his son and as usual his 1st words to me were "welcome home". We checked in at the hotel and then went to Old Jaffa for food. It is a restaurant that a tourist would not know of. It was great. I had a chopped salad with tahini and sunflower seed and freshly squozed lemonade (made with limes). Then we drove north to see Nachum Katz who is the director of Hadassak Neurim. This is one of several villages in Israel for at risk children. I will meet with Nachum next week for several hours as he wants to show me around and explain the work they do. I was introduced to him by Buddy Feinberg, who is a great supporter of this project. Moshe and his son Sagi dropped me off at the hotel and told me to get some sleep. Ifinally got on the net after some minor frustrations. The hotel could not help me. Naturally, I figured it out myself (with a little luck). The hotel is ok. However, it is right on the Med and close to restaqurants and bars. The flight was 100% full as are all the hotels in Tel Aviv. This hotel is loaded with French. They are a pain in the ass. Its 8 so time for dinner. Moshe will pick me up in the morning. Sagi is meeting me later.
