Walking across the street in downtown "new" Jerusalem two weeks ago, with my 80-200mm Nikon zoom on the D70, I spotted a group of what I believe were Ethiopian-heritage Jewish girls crossing the street in front of me.Their expressions of happiness and exuberance really lifted my spirits that day. These children are Israel's future, and no Palestinian terrorism or Iranian threats will stop them.

Am Yisroel Chai (Israel lives) indeed!
