months savoring the thought of an exotic vacation 20 year old susan bent was given just a few days to prepare for her summer trip to israel my fathers lawyer had booked to go but his plans changed explained the stouffville resident when david bent learned that a vacancy had come up for- the trip organized by the jewish national fund jnf he thought of his daughter he jumped at the chance he called me about six days before hand to tell me i was going recalled susan i hadnt even been on a plane before and i didnt quite know how to take it it didnt become real until the night before we left any misgivings she may have felt however were soon swept away by sheer excitement and the incredible sense of history that per vades israel despite the countrys precarious and volatile situation susan found the israelis she met very friendly and surprisingly sanguine howev er the sight of young soldiers armed with machine guns was unsettling at first she admitted they live for the moment they all have to do army training but they dont seem to mind they say its fun susan spent five days in jerusalem and was enthralled by the old city especially the church of the holy sepulchre which incor porates thelites of christs cruci fixion burial and resurrection she visited masada where 960 jews died voluntarily rather than surren der to the romans and she floated in the dead sea which is the low est point on the earths surface another purpose of our visit was to show what jnf does she said theyve planted trees they have entire forests that didnt exist 40 years ago we planted our own tree while we were there the group also met ethiopian and russian jews who had recently arrived in israel never before has any country in the world tried to bring so many people in adjusting was obviously difficult especially for ethiopians who come from a vastly different cul ture however susan was impressed by how quickly the young immigrants were adapting to their new environment theyd been going to

followed by a trek through thedesert on a camel we did an archeological dig when we were there although it was such hard work and very hot we didnt care observecbsusan v volunteers are welcome every where because they cant afford to pay anyone the israelis energy and knowledge of their own history impressed her deeply she added we stayed at a kibbutz for three nights their product was hospi tality but we got a taste of the life because some of the members were getting married and they invited us to join in the wedding she also visited the border areas of syria and lebanon she recalled
