In February Maria and I were again in Erez Israel. Actually we wanted to come with some married couples to the land of Israel, but in this time god surprised and blessed us in a special way. To meet in one week so many old and new friends as well as having so many great conversations, that really touched our heart. Over the years grew a deep trust and appreciation. A very special evening was the meeting with survivors of the Shoa and their siblings in Omer. As we as Germans were welcomed and our personal story with Israel and the Jews was accepted was amazing. It is always a miracle of god when steps of reconciliation succeed.
