“Peace is Necessary, Just and Possible”
Last week President Barack Obama visited Israel. I can’t help
but admire the guy. He is charismatic, eloquent, attentive and smart. Just the
kind of guy you’d like to see at the helm of a country. I didn't watch every
single event, visit or conversation he was engaged in, but I saw enough to be
impressed. I particularly liked his speech to young Israelis, which he delivered
to a crowd of over 2500 students from all over Israel. The punch line was that
Israelis need to strive for peace.

Yodfat – the lesser known Masada
Last week I was on a trip to the Galilee – an area located in the
northern part of Israel. We toured a specific region called Misgav and visited
some its villages and historic sites. The Galilee is blooming this time of the year,
with green hills and flowers everywhere. But the highlight of the tour for me
was a visit to the ancient town of Yodfat.
It was the site of an epic battle during the Great Jewish Revolt
against the Romans (67-73 AD).
