(photo credit: Courtesy) AFTER HIKING the Israel National Trail – Shvil Yisrael – and writing a book about the experience, I often find people ask, “What was your favorite part?” “Why not ask which of my children is my favorite?” is my usual answer. Some things in life just aren’t comparable, or aren’t worth measuring in that way. Each day on the Trail was not only unique and amazing, challenging and beautiful, but fascinating and uplifting as well. Just like my children.

It’s not just news. It’s personal. Some of my Fb friends – especially those who become friends recently because of the book – may not be aware how these events affect us as Israelis and Jews – every one of us. The news itself about the murder of Ari Fuld by a “Palestinian“ Arab terrorist can be found in many places. As can the tributes to this magnificent Jew, Israeli, American, human being.

I am truly humbled by this praise from Sheila, an author, teacher and book reviewer behind the blog "Why Not? Because I Said So". Thank you for walking this trail with me; and when you do come visit Israel, Sheila, I look forward to sharing a glass of wine.... :-) "This book reads like a self-help book, a travelogue, and an adventure book.... I learned many new things about the land and the people of Israel. It made me only want even more to go visit and walk some of the trails that Aryeh did.... This fascinating account of Aryeh Green on his journey of hiking and healing is one I recommend to those seeking answers in life, nature lovers, and those wanting to understand things from a religious perspective." #myisraeltrail www.myisraeltrail.com https://whynotbecauseisaidso.blogspot.com/
