We have not done a good job in keeping Christmas alive in the Holy Land, especially this year.  Covid kept the pilgrims out, and we don’t emphasize the many holy places and trails there are here.  Moslem places are don’t really seem to exist as much here, but everywhere you go here there are Jewish and Christian remains.  In fact most of my Moslem friends go to Mecca now for Umrah.  I’m not sure if there are many holy places here .

But anyway I can’t go now.  I want to take my grandson on his birthday to some place associated with the Palmach – which is his present obsession.  He’s booked up for parties today but we’ll get him neext week.
