I had the incredible opportunity to travel to Israel this past September. I traveled with my husband, Rabbi Rosenberg and Karen Rader from the Jewish Federation on an Interfaith couples trip. I spent nine days with people from the St. Louis area on a journey I will never forget.

Israel to me is the Holy land. The place where religion began and the commandments were written.The Sea of Galilee boat ride and dinner at a seaside restaurant was one memory that I can envision clearly.  Darkness fell and we walked together as a group to listen to a man sing and play guitar. He shared his background and his knowledge of Judaism. He shared his voice and music to connect us all. I felt inclusion,enlightened and spiritual. The people, the country and my new found friends/travel companions have left an imprint on my heart and in my memories.
