Last weekend I asked Hillel Schenker to tell us at Alte what he thought about Israel and the elections because I wanted to hear even one hopeful sentence, and I didn’t know where to find that sentence, where to hear it. Where to find that hope. Whatever happens in life, some of us persist in wanting hope to be ever present.
I love this. It's so painful, because not only did I adore everything about the whole Middle East, I dreamed of Jews bringing a socialist utopia to the region and making it better for everyone. "A light unto the nations" So many of us drank that cool aid. Was it a true belief....dream.....or were we sucked into a scam? I am not the first in my family to suffer this despair. The two generations before me had their hearts broken by socialism.
Beautiful Esther
And the music~ haunting
What to do ???
I cannot abandon my attachment to the Israel of my dreams.
So much more to say, but where will this end?
