How does that work, exactly? One supposes all loose rocks in the near surroundings would long ago have been chucked and then hauled away. Do they simply leave them at the base for re-use, or recycle and scatter them for rethrowing? Has a canny entrepreneur set up a rock concession, 10 shekels per rock, 3 for 25, with a helmeted kid to pick up the thrown rocks like the caged-cart scoops up striped golf balls at the driving range? Do tell....
There are rocks EVERYWHERE in Israel. Nobody could ever corner the market on rocks, as they are everywhere. My dear late husband who was Jewish, looked upon the Promised Land, and said, in true Bosch Belt Manner:
“You Vant Rocks? Have I got ROCKS! It’s ROCKS you vant?
I’ll give you ROCKS!”
It became a little catch phrase between us for many years.
“Tanks” For The Memory, Dan!
