Keeping the Fire Burning
A bunch of years ago, I staffed a Birthright trip for individuals with physical limitations. It was one of the most moving, and most exhausting experiences I’ve ever had. We flew with breathing tubes, wheelchairs, 24/7 medical teams, and...

The Essence of Gratitude, Community, and Freedom
