DEAR FRIENDS,

Is this a winter or what? I can close my eyes and almost believe I'm in New Jersey. Well, minus the snow. By all accounts this has been a wet and wonderful winter so far. In our last newsletter I said that the Weatherman's (and woman's) predictions were more in the line of suggestions rather than actual predictions but they have been really good this year. I take off my hat to the Israeli Meteorological Service. Check out their website for real-time updates. If you are Hebraically challenged then click the little "en" hiding in the top left corner of the page to get English. We'll continue to hope for more rain. Most of us would agree that you can't be too rich and you can't have too much rain. Of course, if your roof leaks then you'll have a different view. Just be sure to pack an umbrella when you venture outside.

And now for the latest: Check out our upcoming event and let us know your suggestions for an interesting activity.
