If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?
If I could go anywhere in the world I would go to Israel. Not modern day Israel-Palestine, filled with life-threatening conflict over a barren land.

Parashat Bereishit: The Ultimate Sin, Or The Ultimate Gift? (Part 1 of 2, Adam’s Gift)
Bereishit tells us to separate our creation from the chaos of the rest of the universe and look at it for what it is. Maybe we can learn to look back and say, “it was good”.
