My two weeks in Bet Shean with the Engliada program has been an adventure I will never forget. While I had some ideas from the training in Cleveland as to what I might expect, the actual expereience proved to be beyond anything I could have imagined.
My gratitude for having had this opportunity goes to the warm, friendly and helpful staff at Bet Cleveland and to my students in the Intermediate class whose courage and enthusiasm made them an honor to work with. I shall miss them very much.
What a unique opportunity to get to know our "sisters and brothers" in Israel. They opened their homes to me, they educated me about everything from the foods they eat, the places they work, the families they love and the reasons that they cherish this beautiful land of Israel.
It will be difficult to say goodbye to my new friends. A few of them will be traveling to Cleveland in February with Community Builders. I look forward to seeing them there. My hope is that I can return to Bet Shean someday.
With great affection and appreciation,
Margie Klein
