The Desert Fever

"This is the strangest country in the world" - said an orthodox Jew while I was taking him in Mea Sha'erim district. Perhaps it is the strangest, because it's the only utopia from the 20th century that has been established and maintained. After 2000 years, the ancestors of Messiah have returned to the land of Canaan, and are attempting to redeem it. The land of gardens and deserts, religion and war, communes and metropolises, Jews and Arabs, who also belong to their homeland. This is the strangest country that I saw.
