"A house is a jar for stories...."

What can I say about Israel? Israel is beautiful, but its beauty is found only partly in the place itself, the landscape of mountains and deserts and seas. Mostly, its beauty is in its stories, because even though the country's seen war, war broken only by small breaths of peace, people flourish there with faith in the past grace of God and hope that he will grant them a future of lasting peace.
