The Finds that Tie Us

The Finds that Tie Us Within the space of a few weeks highway construction and a family’s living room renovations have brought to light two ancient pools of faith in the Judean Mountains that reveal love of heritage – and kindred traditions.

A Cup of Hope on the Seder Table

A Cup of Hope on the Seder Table As first published at Jerusalem Perspective Online The decades have not dimmed the memory of my parents’ Seder table back in Trenton, New Jersey.

Lifeline from the Grave

  Lifeline from the Grave Our recent Purim celebration drew my thoughts to that other biblical woman with a warning for an ancient king: Hulda, teacher and prophetess. This is the story of her tomb, which she shares with two alter-egos from across the religious/ethnic divide. “Don’t’ worry,” the service person who gave me my […]

Of Almonds and Analgesics

Of Almonds and Analgesics   What a briefly blossoming biblical tree can teach us about a much-needed dose of hope. Time to ‘fess up about what I’ve been hiding in my how-are-you-we-are-fine emails these past months: Husband Arik’s winter has been a bit on the Jobian side.

Path Perfect – Reclaiming Jezreel
