• The Write of Return: Israel, 24 Years Later

  I lived, worked and traveled in Israel from June 1984-June 1985, when I was 21 turning 22 years old. I didn't know anyone and I didn't speak the language. Now, 24 years later, I'm returning to visit this country with my husband and three children for two weeks through a congregational trip that will last 15 days. This blog is my diary of this occasion.
