I thought this time I am going to be Scott Free and have no digestive conflicts, I was wrong.   On the radio someone was telling a story about eating foods from the diaspora and how they clashed with Israeli foods. It was a fiction story about someone who, coming to Israel from the old world and a eurupian diet, found Israel olives to be very repulsive, but after he went through a culinary crisis, pucking etc.. his system purged in some way and then he begun enjoying those same olives. I reflected to myself this was my situation as well.  It seems we always meet clues on the way of life when we pay attention to these little droplets of information that constantly present themselves to us, the trick is not to ignore them.  From Israel,  Boaz Pnini,  Bridges 2 Israel PS. I am feeling much better now.. Pleasing my mom Click to view my mom and her trees   For a long time Yedida Pnini, my mom, wanted to show us her project of planting trees and claiming land. This is her mission. She becomes frustrated when not finding much cooperation from our family, so I thought to give her the opportunity to say what she want on this video. I think she was pleased. It will give you some idea of what the area looks likes and what some people like my mom believe and do. Writing about Israel  Although I am in Israel now, it does not feel right, not yet, to write about my current visit to Israel. It needs more time to percolate through my life and get a context and a perspective. Otherwise it is like a FIFO (first in first out) kind of thing without any process in the middle.   What I can say is that being in Israel always feels significant to me and that often I find out what was significant about it much later.   Boaz Pnini  Bridges 2 Israel Lake kineret corner Hopefully I will be at the kineret tomorrow and will have a more current update for you. The lake is still 93 centimeters above last year pick level.  Please feel free to forward  Israel Ramble letters to your friends and family and anyone who may be interested.
