Dreams of Fields Elysian

You could have stayed here and lived with the Diaspora's fear that protecting Jews may prove an illusion You came to your own conclusion To move to a land that Jews themselves defend Where not in vain is uttered, 'Never Again!' We're so proud of you, son, and your decision To reach for dreams of Fields Elysian

Thanks, Sandy. Yes, I am so proud of my son, Doneal Yosef. He is one amazing fellow, fatherly bias aside. Blessings, Gershon

so your son is in the promised land? Wow. that is something! I visited there in my youth. I got to spend over a week doing the "bible" tour and I saw that famous place , I forget the name. Masada?? where so many Jews were killed by Romans. I will never forget the beautiful sunflower fields of early summer. Lovely tribute poem.

Yes, my son is in Israel, to be inducted in the army, as an officer in less than a month. Very proud of him... And how 'bout those sunflowers?! ... You're right about the name of that place called Masada. A grim story told there, albeit a panoramic view from the top of the mount. Thanks, Andrea. :) Gershon
