Why we decided to leave all the work on our desks and drive to Beit Govrin I don’t know.  Maybe it was the idea of leaving our troubles behind, maybe it was the idea of escaping the heat in the caves…who knows.  We went.  

What we forgot was that the caves are cool and exciting  but getting to the caves means going through incredible heat.  Yet there is something incredibly inspiring in the caves. 

in many ways…

see?

The problem was getting home.  By the time we headed back it was a bit later and we got into a jam – which turned out to be the charadim blocking the highway.  They looked healthy and powerful enough to be great soldiers, but the draft they revile might endanger their way of life.  The problem is their way of life endangers our lives.
