It is difficult to understand the connection between a Sabra (native Israeli) and
Eretz Yisrael (The land of Israel) for an American. We take everything we have
for granted; we even feel we *deserve* many luxuries; in Israel nothing is taken
for granted. Virtually every family in Israel has lost a loved one defending
their country. It breeds a different attitude; an appreciation that is for the
most part absent here. Plus, it has the diversity of climate and geography of the
US (save Alaska;) in a land mass the size of New Jersey. It truly is an amazing
place.
