thank you!
I live in a remote semi desert in California in a place without Jews. You seemed like a wonderful familiar old friend, and warmed my Jewish self, which goes about in a state....well when I am feeling dramatic, i say, By the waters of Babylon we sat and wept as we remembered Zion. I want to thank you for the reminder of Zion today!
