III the same time and the radio was happily announcing rain in all parts of Israel. Because of the storm, the power at our camp was out. It was pitch black when I arriv- ed at the gate; but, as I was walking toward the barracks, voices called my name — it was some of the volunteers who had come to the gate to meet me with an umbrella and flashlight. I was very touched! We were given two tours during the three-week period which took us to Gedera, Ramla, Hadera, Binyamina, Ein Had, Caesarea and Jerusalem. I was given the honor of accompanying the doctor from our base to pur- chase an EKG unit which our group presented to the base hospital for use of the base and surrounding towns who were desperately in need of the unit. Indescribable emo- tions — tears of happiness and joy were shed by both the Israelis and ourselves upon its purchase and presenta- tion. Michael Allouche, our madrick, who was our guide on the tour of Jerusalem, summed up in these words what we had asked pertain- ing to the forthcoming peace talks and he said: "Israel was given to us by God. Israel feels it will achieve peace and find a solution one day. It is meant that Israel and its peo- ple will reach peace — the Bi- ble says so — so it is written and so it will be. Don't lose hope — Peace and hope go together." Despite the lack of certain cidences and bonding is con- still love and miss Israel. The work as a volunteer is not easy. The exchange of emotion, experience, coin- cidences and bonding are con- suming and addicting. The ac- commodations are far from what we're accustomed to; but, life in Israel is not a piece of cake. The satisfaction one gains in this program far super- cedes the energy expended. If what I did made a difference then I accomplished what I had intended to do. As one person put it: It takes only one hand to write a check to Israel, but it takes two hands and two feet to come to Israel and work. My n _ eshamah (soul) is in Israel. They have built a homeland with their sweat, tears and blood. Life in Israel is difficult and lives are always threaten- ed; yet, they accept this, stand for and strive for peace. The Israelis are optimistic that some day they will achieve shalom — peace!! Let us all pray they do. ❑ • DECEMBER 22 -JANUARY 12 8 DAYS / 7 NIGHTS From $399 per person 0 Glatt 2 Hours More Sunshine I INCLUDES- • Nightly Entertainment • Color TV • Free Parking • Cater To All Diets • Gourmet Kosher Meals • Daily Activities • Daily Shiurim • Air- Conditioning • Heated Pool • Heated Whirlpool Chef Angel Mercedes with his fabulous vegetable centerpiece.
