SLIDESHOW: An Illustrated Diary Of Israel After The Six Day War
We frequented the falafel stands in Zion Square for lunch. One day I found myself confronting a captured Syrian tank.
While fighting raged during the Six Day War, I felt compelled to apply to volunteer in Israel — to do work that soldiers would have been doing. The war ended in a miraculous six days, but the Jewish Agency decided to bring us to Israel anyway. I spent a year in three different parts of the country: the Negev, the Galilee and Jerusalem. Here I present some of my most vivid memories from that year.
