Part of our tour of Neot Kedumim (a beautiful fulfillment of Is 55:13 and Is 35:1), a Nature Reserve in the West Bank. See www.neot-kedumim.org.il/public/english/what/what.htm Our guide lead us through a very meaningful dramatic reader’s theater of the story of Ruth where our Karilyn was Ruth and it was very moving.

At our last stop at the Psagot Winery and Benjamin Visitor’s Centre we watched 3 very well produced multimedia presentations in 3 different theaters 1. Yaakov Berg’s story (the way God worked in his heart to stay in Israel rather than follow the path of a promising career in the UK), 2. Israel’s journey to obey Hashem, 3. a game to get to know facts about Israel and especially the Benjamin area and how vital it is to all of Israel. www.psagotwines.com/102442/About We have learned that for a vineyard to produce marketable wine it takes at least 7 years, which is an evidence that the people are setting down roots and plan to remain. Wine is very important to Jewish people and this is difficult for our family given our choice of position on that topic. (Since we have close relatives on both side of Kim’s family that struggle with alcoholism, we choose to abstain.)
