Tomorrow is my last day. This adventure is everything I wanted. I am not interested in Israel 2,000 yrs. ago. I get no spiritual uplifting standing atop Massada, nor am I moved visiting Rachel's tomb and most the 100s of other historical sites. The same reaction I had with the Sphinx, Pyramids and the liberty bell. None, zippo. I am into Israel today and what the future promises. I can see the old times on Discovery and History channels. I have enjoyed interacting with the people and making new havers (friends). Many American Jews should begin to understand how important this country is for them. History is repeating itself now in Europe, Argentina and other parts of the world. France is the perfect example. Unlike Hitler's time there is now a place to go where we are welcome. They need support. Not just with money, but, to come here, show their faces and just to say a simple thank you. It means a lot. We all live in relative luxury with our 2 cars, country clubs, designer clothes, tvs, etc. There is more to life. And Israel is a beacon unto the world. What this country has given to technology, medical advances and a lot of other things and as an example of how to live morally is worth preserving. Amen. See you all soon.
