There should be a special "bracha" (blessing) for arriving in Israel. Being in Israel is to truly experience a modern miracle. Israel is more beautiful than ever. I arrived late last night. I awoke to look out at the beautiful Mediterranean. This morning I registered for the Israel Ride which is sponsored by Hazon. Many friends and family members have contributed to this cause, you can see my personal webpage here.
A young man named "Geo" who was born in Vietnam, moved to France and came to settle in Israel 11 years ago helped me reassemble my bicycle. This group is multi-ethnic, multi-religious, and multi-Jewish (Reform, Conservative, Secular, Orthodox, etc, etc.)
After assembling the bike, I went on a short 5 mile ride to test it out on the boardwalk and in HaYarkon Park which has a beautiful multi-use trail.
