A new state in Texas June 24, 2002 Last Tuesday morning the bus exploded in Gilo. A hell of a way to start the day. Late Wednesday a suicide bomber exploded at the bus stop on French Hill. A hell of a way to end the day. Early Thursday evening I mentioned to someone how nice it was, no terrorist […]

The Best of the Hebron BluesJune 3, 2002 Shalom. Tonight, it’s my pleasure to tell you a fairytale. Last September two teenagers stood on Hebron’s main street, talking to some soldiers.

Bowls of Blood and TearsErev Pesach, 2002 The archangel stood, approached the holy throne, and bowed before the L-rd. Receiving permission to speak, the angel lowered his eyes to the ground, unable and unwilling to look G-d in the eye. “My L-rd, today is the second day of the week. In two days time we must be ready to accept […]

Courage and SpiritApril 14, 2002 Last week was a very difficult week. I found myself twice in two days at Har Hertzel in Jerusalem. Har Hertzel is Jerusalem’s military cemetery. Attending funerals is never pleasant, but when the victims are young men, 19 and 21 years old, it is almost unbearable. Both soldiers fell in Jenin, first Shmuel Weiss from […]
