Elaine and I will be heading there next week, along with some others in Congress My itinerary is packed with educational seminars, briefings with Israeli and Palestinian officials, meetings with political groups, etc.
But this is also a personal journey -- it's something we've wanted to do for a while. Which leads me to the purpose of this post...
If you've been to Israel, I'd love to hear from you. I don't mean about your day-to-day agenda, but instead more of a reflection of your trip. What did you learn while you were there? What did you come away with? What was the most striking / interesting part of your visit?
If you're not comfortable commenting below, feel free to send me a direct message through Facebook. I can't guarantee I'll respond to them all, but would certainly love to hear your insights.
