I hope you do get to go, at least for a visit, before they give away the rest of the store. I went in 2005 with a group from the Republican Jewish Coalition, and it was one of the most interesting and enjoyable trips I’ve ever taken. I look forward to going back (God willing!).
I’ve been a lot — Mrs. MWT is an Israeli citizen -— she wants to go back to care for her parents.
It was primarily ecomic reasons (like no job there -— not quite Abraham here willing to take a leap of faith) that prevented my going -— no longer an issue.
