My mom is off to Israel on Friday - Amsterdam first. I wanted to say I LOVE Einat Wolff. I've read her articles in Sapir. About Poland, My mom grew up in Poland after the wat, and they made aliyah when my mom was around 12. . She has a love-hate relationship with Poland. Loves it because that's where her childhood was, hates it because of how anti-semitic it was. Doesn't trust the country. She didn't really speak Polish to us because no one in the family was there. But we took a trip there, and for me it was very strange. Like, hearing Polish soothed me, as it was the language my mom spoke to my grandmother in. But I didn't feel connected to the land itself like I do in Israel. Nor its people. But it did feel very different from when I've been to, like, Italy. And it didn't feel like home, not like NY or Israel does. Maybe it's like going to NJ - home-ish?
I look forward to hearing about the LA event!
