Always has. Had never lived there, before I had children. Lived there for four years with my first two kids, and then left; I returned for the first time 24 years later. Three out of my five kids now live there: I raised them all on the specialness of Israel to the Jewish people, on Zionism. I'll never forget my youngest daughter, now a commander in the IDF, saying to me that Israel was totally not the way I described it. Guess I've always had a 'starry-eyed' view of my people's <i>moledet.</i> Needs a lot of work, Israel does. But I'll take it. We Jews need it; and we can change it for the better...

(although they are only "in season" in the winter - and don't ask me why candy has a "season.") You could work for the Israeli hasbara office (government PR?) :) Don’t forget krembos when you visit!
