Rocky Mountain High: Happy Birthday Israel


Israel's Life Beyond the Headlines -John Temple

The land of Israel that I found on a spring break visit this year was bursting with energy, in the midst of a boom.

I returned home with great admiration for the energy and intensity of the people, for the feeling that, despite their differences, they are all in it together. There's a love of life, a passion for living, that's unforgettable.

As Israel approaches its 60th birthday in May, I am filled with the feeling that something special is still taking place in this sliver of a nation, something worth appreciating and supporting.
