Hey, Akiva. Very powerful, good blog. Getting to see that story again, the one you read to us on top of Metzada, brought back the same emotions, I realize now, that I've experienced back there rising within me together with the sun. I remember myself trying very hard to keep the feelings, the reaction inside. Dont ask me why, I dont know.
By the way, I got an answer to my question that I asked you after the Metzada (Why'd you tell it). I guess the question was rather dumb. I rather hope you didn't get hurt by it. But unasked questions are even worse, for the loss of their purpose. So I got my answer. Twice actually. First time hearing people speak about your story on the last night of the trip and, once again, reading your blog. I hope all is well.
I am trying to see how many people actually view this blog, and how they got to it, why, and what they thought of it. So even if you do not know me in person, please feel free to leave a comment here and let me know what you thought. Thanks.
