This Sunday night, August 2 at Etz in the Beyt Knesset, from 7-9, I will talk about what I experienced during the first Israel tour I ever led into a war. Though I had been in Israel during three previous wars, I had never brought a tour there before during one. This experience was so different in so many ways, and you can hear about it.

I am sure that all of you have questions, emotions, and a need to say things in an understanding atmosphere. So bring your open minds, your calmly expressed questions, your good will towards your fellow congregants, and your prayers and hopes for real peace in the face of implacable hatred and ever more lethal technology, and we'll talk Sunday night.
