Paris, France
We are currently waiting for our connecting flight to Tel Aviv. On the seat next to me is a lady named Nancy. Three years ago, following a divorce, she moved to Israel. She tells me that there are a lot of women in Israel in her situation.
11:30pm Tel Aviv, Israel
We arrived at Ben Gurion Airport at 6:30pm. After picking up our car we managed to get lost a few times on the way to our hotel. It is on Ben-Yehuda Street. We went out for dinner and had falafalas. Then we walked down to the beach. Many people are sitting and enjoying the beautiful late spring summerlike weather. There is lots of life here. As we sit Air Force helicopters and low flying planes comb the coast, flood lights are shone upon the waters of the Mediterranean. It is hard to believe that just a few years ago Saddam Hussein launched Scud Missiles into this city.
Israel is such a beautiful country. Thank you LORD for allowing me to see what You are doing in the land you swore to give to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and their descendants.
Nancy told me some interesting things on the flight:
1. The country for the most part does not care for the current government's policy towards the territories.
2. Every Jew in the world automatically becomes a citizen when they come to Israel. They want every Jew to come home.
3. There is no constitution.
