Donald's Story

mazing, beyond all my dreams - hitching like the wind thru Europe,Pampalona,Formitera,Corfu, Myconos, Merikesh, Fez,Istanbul, Yugoslavia, spending the winter on a kibbutz in Israel.Before taking off from the States, I was apprehensive about traveling by myself. But even from the waiting lounge even befor the take-off to London, until my return 13 mos latter, I was never alone. The whole trip was truely one continious amazing experience.July '70 I came back to the States, and come Sept back to Atlanta to finish my MBA. But I couldn't do it. I had gotten a peek "outside the box", and couldn't put myself back into the groove - remember this was the late 60's Hippies, Beatles, Vietnam, Kent State... - students began to do some independent thinking.

the place for a while, found myself in Yeshiva, a rabbinacle academy. A new world opened up before me - I began delving into 2000 years of ancient wisdom, not in translation, but the original Hebrew. There wasn't enuf hours in the day to learn. Only then did I learn what real learning and studying is. So 39 years ago I became a religious Jew, got married, had 8 kids, and now holding by 21 grandkids (for the time being only - we're expecting that number to keep growing). I'm still living in Israel, my oldest boy is a Rabbi in Russia, helping to revive Judaism, after several generations of Communist opression, 3 of the kids are back in the States, the rest of us are here in Isreal, fulfilling a prophecy and dream of thousands of years. If anyone remembers me, would certainly like to hear from you, via my email address -- gedaliameyers at yahoo(sorry it appears that the 1st page of this story didn't catch)
