A few weeks ago, I thought I saw enchilada sauce on a shelf at Deal Super, a nearby grocery store that carries a lot of American products. And maybe I did. If so, I should have bought every can on the shelf. But then again, maybe I didn’t see it. Sometimes everything blurs together when…

Cold Cockles
Although we have experienced unseasonably warm temperatures this January here in Israel, it gets cold when the sun goes down. The buildings, apartments, and homes are built with concrete, stone, and tile. Often it is colder inside than out. It is hard to keep our apartment warm in the evening without ratcheting up an expensive gas…
Narcissus. In. January.

On the way home, it looked like it was raining in Jordan across the Dead Sea. And there was a magnificent rainbow. Then a double rainbow… so brilliant because the…
Galilee and on to Jerusalem
On the second night of our Israel tour, the group stayed on Kibbutz Maagan Eden. Since I lived on a kibbutz for over two and one half years in my early twenties, I am very partial to kibbutz life. This particular kibbutz in the north is so beautiful and peaceful, nestled on the shores of…
