How Lisa Came to Israel

Deenster beat me to the punch in pointing to the blog called On the Face (it’s her big sister’s blog), but it bears a second recommendation. Lisa’s story told in multiple parts, titled How Lisa Came to Israel,

is an intriguing tale about her arrival in Israel during a explosive

time, both personally and politically. It’s a great story told well.

Here are links to the installments she’s written so far:

  • Joey, thanks so much for this. I feel as though I just got a plug in the NY Times or something.

    My next trip to TO will be well after the winter ends, thank you very much, and you know I'm counting on dim sum with you, Paul, Adina and...Wendy!
