Our Journey to Israel:The Fog Overcomes: Socked In on Shabbat


For my first blog entry for our journey to Israel, I was not expecting to show you the frozen landscape around Dane County Regional Airport. However, for many of our travelers, this was all we were to see today as our planes were, for the most part, cancelled, and our trip postponed. We will be starting out to try again, both tomorrow and the next day, as some from our group will travel on each of the next two days.
For the children of some of our members who live elsewhere, they will apparently continue with their trip and have a wonderful journey to Israel even though we are not going to be with them. They will certainly get an excellent panaroma of the land!
It certainly took an extraordinary amount of patience and flexibility for our travelers to accept the reality that our trip was not going to start out as they anticipated it, but the many hours in the airport today were spent in camaraderie and ease, as each person helped the other deal with what were somewhat frustrating circumstances. This is a short post for now -- more will come in the days ahead.
