"When I look at the photos, I can't help but feel very good about Israel. After 20 years of living here, like most Israelis, I've grown cynical -- I'm sick of the problems and wars and conflicts and bureaucracy. When I think of the experience of seeing them airlifted and then seeing them again, seeing babies with distended stomachs now soldiers in the army, I can't help but feel this is the essence, the purpose of having Israel as a state, as a refuge for Jews.""Their story is an incredible affirmation of what can happen when a tribe is found and reunited and welcomed as Jews. This would never happen in any other country."
Sandee Brawarsky is book critic for The Jewish Week.
