Israel in Haiku

July 12

NJ takes Israel!
It’s day one of Momentum.
Moms can change the world!

July 13

Jet lag is a b%$#h,
But Israeli breakfast rocks.
Off to see Tel Aviv!

July 14

Words carry power.
Power to harm or to heal.
Aspire to heal.

July 15

Jerusalem stone
Glows pink in the dusky light.
I am home again.

July 15

Ketzerin contains
A two thousand-year-old shul.
Indigenous proof.

July 18

Atop Masada,
The sun rises hot over
A renewed Zion.

July 19

Saying goodbye to

Friends, both the new and the old,

Tears holes in my heart.
