I have read that Nadia Abu El Haj's book disputes the archeological evidence of a thriving Jewish civilization in the Israelite kingdoms in what is now Israel. Based on these descriptions, I am convinced that her book is politically inspired misinformation, and as such a distortion of true scholarship.

If Nadia Abu El Haj's credentials for tenure are judged by her book, she clearly lacks the academic stature expected for Barnard professors. I urge the Columbia University administration to reject such blatant antisemitic advocacy in making their evaluation of Nadia Abu El Haj's bid for tenure.

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.
