Columbia University was once a place of wisdom and justice. You could walk through the beautiful open plaza area and hear such incredible intellectual discussions - not of hatred, but of sympathy and compassion. It was a place of grace that has fallen to a place of dismal political agendas - many featured highly in their tenure decisions. As outrageous as their ridiculous tuition has become, at least one would have assumed that a decent and shining education would be achieved, doors opened, world's illuminated. But Columbia has lost its charm, its grace, its dignity, and worse its claim to stand for justice and what is right. It lost that when it gave Nadia Abu El Haj tenure. It lost that when it brought Rashid Khalidi to be a professor there and it lost it when it invited Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, president of Iran and current day madman of the Middle East to speak.

A site about Israel, being Jewish and living in a world where things aren't always bright and shiny, but where there is always hope that tomorrow will be better.
This site is dedicated to the people who inspire me to stop what I am doing and write.
To my husband, to my children. To my parents and sister and brother, and their families. To my brothers-in-laws and sisters-in-law. | |
To the victims of terrorism over the last few years. | |
To the soldiers of Israel. | |
To mothers. | |
To the Jews who are no more, and to the Jews yet to be. | |
To those around the world who understand that the path to peace is not reached through violence, to my Arab friends and neighbors. | |
 | To my international friends and email pals... |
in short, this site is dedicated to those who have touched my life, and in so doing, have brought forth my words.
