Holy Bible: Read At Your Own Risk
You Know You’re in Israel When Every Day is a High School Reunion
I cannot get over the fact how often Israelis run into people they knew from their childhood in the middle of the street.

I miss you, John. 27 years later, I still wish I could turn back the clock to the Summer of 1980. I remember everything - sharing our morning coffee, walking in the park together on a beautiful day, and seeing your hand stretched to mine - holding it, reassuring me […]
