Thanks Ryn, I think it's the history, the epic story that spans thousands of years, David, the Pyramids, Moses, having the holy land, not having the holy land...this enormous past that we are all part of...(and yes the food esp fish balls Mmmmm).

But even then thats all tied to the spiritual side, I mean i'd love to believe that Moses parted the Red Sea but erm...common sense tells me he didn't! Can I tell the kids the stories and let them make up their own minds? I just hate it when they ask me what I believe and I say I don't know...i'd like to give them guidence. I'm supposed to be the strong one they look to for answers

Thanks Innana, i'll look forward to your thoughts!!!
