From Rabbi Wasserman. May: Israel at 60: “Not Young, But Still Dreaming”
Israel turns 60 this month, and in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, a year of celebrating has already begun—gala concerts; festivals of art; symposia on politics, economics and technology; and retrospectives on television each night.
In Israel, the pundits and people on the street wonder at the frenetic pace of change: pioneering farmers have given way to high tech entrepreneurs; a country built by young immigrants now launches thousands of young backpackers to travel every corner of the world; a people once known for simple folk tunes and dances creates film and television acclaimed by critics around the world.
Read more from the Rabbi's Column in the recent Beth Shalom Monthly Bulletin.
