Tomorrow, Tomorrow, I Love You, Tomorrow
Tomorrow at 4 PM Israel Time (9 AM EST) 13 hostages, all of them women and children, are scheduled to be released by Hamas. I cannot remember the last time I felt SO excited! Maybe right before I gave birth to my youngest child 8 years ago? Which makes me remember that before October 7th, […]
A Second Before My Flight Takes Off
Just wanted to send a quick message before my flight back to Israel takes off in a second. My flight from Israel to the US last week was around half full. This plane back to Israel is 100% full. Not one seat empty. Who would believe, based on the news, that the planes going to […]

The Surgeon who Moved me to Tears
My Dad had cataract surgery today, so I flew in yesterday to spend a week with him in Baltimore. I’d been scared to leave Israel and come to the US right now. It’s true that Israel’s at war, and America’s not. But the incredible unity and clarity in Israel since October 7th makes me feel […]
