It's both exhiliarating and humbling to be in the presence of people who so clearly live by their principles.On the one hand, you feel ALIVE seeing how "common" people strive to reach their full potential.
And, on the other, you wonder....Am I doing all I can to reach my potential?
Much like Tamar's brother who recently moved to Israel, Shmuel and Leah Goldman picked up their stakes in the US (many years ago) and committed to living in the Jewish state.
It hasn't always been easy, of course. Their families are here and the economy there isn't always the best, but they are determined.
You can see their love of life, Israel, and the Jewish people in their eyes...and their actions back it up. It's inspiring. They just bought their first home, have 3 children, and with each passing day, the roots grow deeper. They are truly building a life based on their values and principles.
Though the kids and I had about 30 minutes only to see them on Sunday, we felt invigorated (or at least I did-the kids were falling apart) by their presence.
