the back story - in brief

from an Israeli birth to the Diaspora; for the most part, even though Canada has been, and is a most giving home, there is a missing 'je ne sais quoi' here

a thread, a nigun (a word I only learnt recently, but it is appropriate here), always held my attention, drawing me to Israel

then the big trip in the '70's only to realise the country & I weren't prepared for each other

now relatively unfettered, another trip that has me enthralled and quite determined to make the move; our time has come, and I couldn't be more thrilled !!
