Day 19

Still counting the omer.  Today is day  19 as we draw near to Sinai and Shavuot.

Here's  another anonymous writer answering, What does Israel mean to me?

Israel means "home."  It is living with your extremely large extended family.  It is never having to  "define" your food (latke, knish, charoset, sufganiyot).  It is being able to keep a kosher home with driving one hour to buy mean.  It is never having to deal with your crying child when someone tells him thatJews are cheap.  It is not having to explain that Christmas is not a secularl holiday.  It is our assurance that there is a place that will never persecute you for being a Jew.
