Between June 17 and June 20, Birthright safely evacuated almost 3,000 American kids, in the midst of daily bombings, and funded the entire operation. It was an astounding feat. Here's our story.
Beautifully written! And I especially love the transcription of the text conversations -- totally shows Matthew's personality and your unimaginable level of anxiety. I literally had tears in my eyes at the end when you saw him at the airport.
That’s sooo tender!!! Thank you!! This was a particularly cathartic one to write and I loved going back over our texts! I’m glad you enjoyed it (and am flattered by the tears)! ❤️
What a frightening time that must have been for you! How fortunate you are to have technology that enabled you to stay in touch with Matthew throughout. A generation or two ago, you would have had to stay near the phone hoping for a call when he found a payphone. Thank you for continuing to write.

You’re 100% right!! That’s what it was like when I was there and I think it’s a big reason I couldn’t stay. Technology is a great connector!!
