Post by: RonPrice on July 20, 2014, 04:07:07 AM: It has been nearly 4 months since I was last at this thread. I thank those who have responded. I took an interest in this site because of my life-long interest in Judaism and Jewish culture. Israel has had a special interest to me since the 1950s when I joined a religion with its world centre in Haifa.-Ron Price
