I regret not making plans to come to Israel.<br /><br />MomKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04989553697014849977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1230748633828892466.post-5773242423521069372009-06-16T21:21:19.495-07:002009-06-16T21:21:19.495-07:00Rabbi,

The lines most often quoted are "good fences make good neighbors," but Frost begins with the essence of the poem: "Something there is that doesn't love a wall."<br /><br />The walls that we create to separate ourselves are no more natural than the abstractions we create (race, economic status, education, etc.). Frost says it better, "Before I built a wall I'd ask to know/What I was walling in or walling out,/And to whom I was like to give offence."<br /><br />My best to you and your family,<br /><br />Jack Bonawitzjbonawitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00959905274902914634noreply@blogger.com
