I gave each of the Wednesday book group women a tube of the [Israeli] hand cream and they were delighted. Everyone smeared some on at once, their hands being cold and dry from the frigid weather we’re having. I also gave each a Shalom of Safed card which they loved. None had every heard of him or his work!
I described my experience at the AACI study vacation and my visit with Rachel Cane, granddaughter of Florence Sherwood of our group. It was the most complete yet concise “de-briefing” I’d given anyone about those 3 days, which crystallized it for me and seemed to interest – even amaze – the women. Three of them called me in the evening to thank me and tell me how much they’d learned.
