needed to go.” Tremping is definitely not a good idea, but it is definitely possible to be rescued when in need. • “I got to meet the Prime Minister/ President/Member of the Knesset/ Mayor.” Our little country gives us many opportunities for the politically interested to meet the folks responsible for governing our country. • “I live in the same country as our children.” An expectation of Grandparent Duty is written into the social (and economic) fabric of Israel; but the grandparents all seem to consider it a number one blessing to live so close and be able to participate in their lives.
• “I had a car accident and so many people stopped to help me.” Israelis may lean on their horns as they blast through traffic, but let there be a problem and people stop to help. Did you see the photo of the chatan who stopped on the way to his wedding to render assistance? • “The sea is outside our front door!” Need we say more? Al and I are happy every day that both of our children live less than an hour away. From the time our son went away to high school, one or the other was not living at home. We are blessed to have everyone together! Chag Pesach Sameach! o
