“Homeland” and “Peoplehood”are two words that are top of
mind when I reflect on Israel’s 70th birthday. It was hard for me to understand
how Israel could feel like a Homeland until I visited for the first time. How
can a foreign land, a place I’ve never been, feel like home I wondered. When I
landed and started to see the lay of the land It certainly didn’t look like
home or feel like home. However, it
didn’t take long to meet the people in the land of Israel to realize it’s the
people that makes it feel like home. When you are surrounded by other Jews
everywhere you go, and connect with people that feel familiar and like family
it does begin to feel a lot like home!
