If all goes according to plan, I hope to return to Israel in late October. This will be my second trip to the country in just over a year and my fourth trip since 2003.
To explain my fascination with Israel, I’d probably need to bore you with selected details about my childhood and growing up a Jew in the southeastern United States. I’m sure I’d end up mentioning the Holocaust and the miraculous transition of the Jewish people from victims to victors."
