YNET NEWS: Living in Israel allows Jews to feel comfortable in their own skin
Last month, I took a quick, five-day trip to the Unites States to visit my grandfather at the Miami Jewish Home and Hospital, an assisted living facility in North Miami Beach where he is (hopefully) recovering from several strokes. While I was pleasantly surprised by the generosity shown to my grandfather by complete strangers (staff members and volunteers) and the extreme emotions exhibited by our family's usually unflappable patriarch, I was simply stunned by my own feelings toward the "Old Country." Though I was born, raised and spent some of the happiest times of my life in the US, something felt unnatural about my return. >>> Elie Klein | Sunday, April 18, 2010
