Season 4, Episode 1
I was back hiking the Israel Trail last week, to start our fourth season. The Burma Road and its role in Israel's War of Independence was the central theme of the hike. We heard about the challenges, dangers, and acts of heroism in 1948. But our thoughts and conversations throughout the day rarely strayed from the current events in Israel — family members serving in the IDF, the hostages still held in Gaza, the ongoing attacks from Hamas, Hezbollah, Houtis, and Iran. Although the members of our group span the spectrum of political ideologies and religious leanings, we all share a yearning for a safe, peaceful and prosperous Israel.
