My dream of going to Israel was a long time in coming
true. It took over 47 years to be exact. At age 77 it
finally happened, and was everything I ever thought it would be, and
then some. For me Israel is a true safe haven and I felt I belonged there
from the moment I stepped off the plane and onto the ground.
Especially in today's atmosphere, Jews around the world need to
have their own country. Even though I never knew any of our
forefathers who fought for Israel and some consequently died for, we Jews today
are the recipients of all their efforts. No one could
take a desert and turn it into a miraculous thriving world. The Jews
did! Israel leads the world in medical breakthroughs,
agricultural advances and so much more. I was extremely impressed
with our visit to a Military base. Those young boys are
representative of how all Israeli youth, male or female, feel about
giving years to protect and defend their country. The pride I
saw in their eyes brought happy tears to my eyes, and
always will.
