Hi Everyone! The end of August is my 30th anniversary in Israel. For the past 30 years, I find it amazing how the country switches within 24 hours from one of the saddest days of the year, Yom Ha'zikaron, to one of the happiest days of the year, Yom Ha'aztmaut.
This week the whole country mourned its three sons and we are worried about our brothers and sisters who are in bomb shelters in Sderot. A very hard week. Today, a large group in Jerusalem made the "switch" to enjoy the Salute to Olim Festival. Kol Hakavod to the organizers. It was very nice! I took photos and posted them online at: http://www.history-of-israel.co.il/jerusalem/2014/jer401.htm The Fountainheads gave a great performance. I posted 4 videos online: Yom Yavo Coming Home Yo Ya Happy http://www.jr.co.il/videos/fountainheads-in-jerusalem-july-3-2014.htm Shortcut for Tweeting: http://bit.ly/fountainheads-in-jerusalem The Jerusalem Barbershop Ensemble also gave a great performance.
