Wishing all a very exciting and happy Fourth of July as we celebrate the deep friendship between our 2 peoples that began 160 years ago when a ship, the Nellie Chapin sailed from Maine to the Holy Land loaded with American dreams and tools to help modernize this part of the world. Today Israel is a vibrant and amazing place with peace-loving people trying to help bring peace for everyone. Jean and Oren in Jaffa American Colony
