  • Memorial Day halfway across the world

    Updated May 27, 2010

    We were recently in Israel when Independence Day celebrations were approaching. The festivities would include fireworks over the Old City in Jerusalem and free open air concerts featuring many of Israel’s top entertainers in the major cities, revelers in the streets like a wholesome Mardi Gras, not to mention private parties going late into the night, the entire country celebrating as one.

So, although the population has slowly grown, there are only a little more than 2,000 residents there and, despite being small, Rainbow has a strong community spirit. A chilly wind was blowing on Saturday, May 22, but it d...
