Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We?

A Letter to Israel on Her 60th Birthday

Dear Israel,

I know we aren’t that close. I admit I don’t keep myself as well informed about your goings-on as I should, but I do hear about you around town. You’ve got quite a reputation, you know that?

It’s hard to know what to make of you being 60 years old. Some 60 year olds are grandmothers, and sometimes you feel like my grandmother. Like when you paid for my 10 day trip to come visit you, and then lectured me about marrying a nice Jewish boy the whole time.

Click here to read the rest of this letter, beautifully written by Leah, my friend from the 2004 Birthright Israel trip.


show some love
