It has been quite some time since I updated the website. There's a new article about the Six Day War - an excerpt of the book about the life of Irene Levi that I've been asked to write. And... I've won 2nd price for a literary competition. Miracles do happen! Want to read the story? Click on the link below. Thanks for visiting! Petra (Christina)

The story behind the winning story

Me and my Mouse

We will serve the LORD!

Lion's Gate Jerusalem
It was here in 1967 that paratroopers entered the Old City.
After 19 years Jerusalem was reunited again.

“Give me wisdom and devotion in the ordering of my common life, that I may be to the other a strength in need, a counselor in perplexity, a comfort in sorrow and a companion in joy.”

Rephrased from the Book of Common Prayer.
