Roni Gendler & Jonathan Saad

(Community Matters) The wedding was spectacular – about 250 family members and friends at the Yakum Kibbutz, just outside Tel Aviv. Jonathan’s parents, Lily & Yigal Saad are very dear friends. His sister Mikal in from Milan and looking like 2 million dollars

Steve, Diane & I started the day in Jerusalem, with breakfast with Eitan Perry & Roey Reilbert, two undergraduate college students.  Steven and I met Eitan during our last visit.  We discussed Israeli politics, especially Israeli – Palestinian perspectives, two-state vs one-state solutions to the conflict and many other topics.  Illuminating.  We’ve been having many conversations with Israelis and Palestinians, educating ourselves on each’s perspective.

We also toured a lot more of Jerusalem with our guide, Itay Ben Zaken
