Tonight ends a beautiful first visit to Israel, but the journey continues.
We spent our last day in the Old City, visiting the Wall, seeing Netanhayu at the Wall after his swearing in as the new Prime Minister. Abby and I shopped and talked and bared our souls. We met Rabbi Moshe for lunch and more conversations. And as we left the City for our last walk to our apartment in Barkai House, we met the co-commander of the ship Exodus, and another holocaust survivor who served in the military and helped Jews after the war. Ah, another day in Jerusalem where everyone mingles, and everyone has a story. You only need to stop and listen.
And to those considering a trip, we never once felt unsafe, or unwanted, or as outsiders. Where else could we share 5000 years of history and soul. This has been an amazing journey for us educationally, spiritually, and joyfully.
Signing off, Stu and Adrienne, The Kirschners in Israel

ReplyDeleteHi. I read an article about Birgitta and her blue door in Jerusalem, in a magazine here in South Africa. I then read your article and would like to know if you have a contact number or e-mail address for Brigitta. My daughter and I would like to visit her. Looking forward to hearing from you.
