Still Safe and Sound

Here is a map of Israel. You will see a clear label pointing to Jerusalem where Michal and I are residing. In the northern edge of the state you will notice a gray haze that I put on the map, showing the reach of the Lebanon attacks. As you can see it is far and away from where we are. I want to assure everyone we are in no immediate danger and life is going on as normal here in the Holy City.

Lastly, you can see an arrow showing the general area of the Tel Dan dig site where we used to be, but left before the attacks began. The people that were with me at the dig site found themselves in harms way and the Israeli army came up to help evacuate them. Though these students where in danger, the dig site wasn’t a target and thankfully none of the attacks ever landed close enough to hurt anyone even if they stayed. For obvious safety reasons the dig site is closed, most likely for the year. I show this only to show how quickly Israel responds to problems, and how hard they work to assure the safety of everyone in their country. Please know that we are in good hands.
