I read this with interest. I moved to Israel in 1978 from Long Island, NY. I have very fond memories of living a block away from the Great South Bay and spending both summers and winters exploring the shore. Life in Israel was certainly a downgrade in materialism, but wouldn't change my life and the family I raised with my wife for anything. Glenn Perlman
Well said. I thought certain things could be neglected for a while, but they'd always more or less be there; not so simple. All of this is magnified when an old place becomes very distant not only in space but also in time.

Yup, that's it. Israel is where it's at, though the old place has its charms too.
