Letter from Noa following our visit


Our dear Keith Kat!
You are sitting in the plane now, reading this letter. We had a whole week together with a lot of conversations, beautiful moments and experiences. You learned where I live and who my family is and you really became a part of the family.
I feel like this is a closure to my trip to Rochester. You have accepted me with such warmth and made me feel a part of your family.
I am sure that only when you get back home, you will begin to understand the things you went through here.
Our Israel is a very special place and no matter where in the world we live, we, the Jewish people, wherever we are, no matter how religious we are, feel a connection to one another, sharing one history, one destination. You need us strong here and we need you there, keeping us safe from far away
You meet many people in life. Some you forget and some get into your heart.
We have a special connection of love and friendship. Give Carol, Josh and Rachel , your special family, kisses and hugs from us.
You are a unique man, so clever and sensitive. I enjoyed hosting you this week and I am so proud of having the chance to show you Israel and my home.
Hope to see you soon and you will come to Or and Bar's Bar Mitzva.
Have a safe trip home and remember you always have another home here with us.

With love,  Noa, Ronen, Or , Bar and Shir
