1. A friend just sent me your presentation of the journey through the Negev from Egypt. One picture was of the road to Eilat. I was on that road in 1985. My, how things must have changed since then. Israel has come a long way since its birth to welcome Jews from around the world.

   I’m sure the hike would be an absolutely wonderful adventure–if one is hearty enough. I used to hike a lot but am too old for that now. But it is good to live vicariously through adventures of others. Thanks for sharing.

   in your masterful, proffesional presentations.

6. Just a quick comment to tell you how much I enjoyed your Kol Nidre presentation. It finally made its way to New Jersey. :) You did a beautiful job. I love to visit synagogues when I travel, but my photos do not compare to yours. Hope to see more of your wonderful work.
   Thank you so much.

7. Re: Berlin Jewish Journey The train line connecting central Berlin to Gruenwald was built by Emil Rathenau around the turn of the 20th century. Emil, who was Jewish, was one of Germany’s major industrialists, employing 75,000 people at his company, AEG. His son Walter built a villa on the Koenigsallee in Gruenwald in 1912. It is still standing but unfortunately is not open to the public. Walter was gunned down near his home in 1922, an early victim of anti-Jewish activities in Germany.

9. A friend sent me your very moving presentation “Berlin Jewish Journey.” Your pictures were very powerful, as was the narrative.

   It reached me on several levels:
   As a Jew, it was an emotional journey.
   As a photojournalist, I could appreciate it from an artistic point of view. As you said, “A picture is worth…” Although I don’t have time to look at your other presentations right now, I will do so soon.

   Of special interest is India (I’m working on the Indian Film Festival of Houston which is a 6-day unique event–not just Bollywood. Please see http://www.iffhinc.org.)

   Another is Africa. I just returned from my second trip to Tanzania. Last year I went as associate producer for a video about the International Year of Planet Earth’s African launch.

   The visit in this past March/April was at the invitation of that country’s government. Four of us went to do a feasibility study for a possible live global broadcast of the wildebeest migration. The story of the first can be seen on http://www.travelblog.org/Bloggers/EllenG and the newest will be there when I complete it–hopefully within the next week.

   I just wanted to send my congratulations for a remarkably sensitive look at Modern Germany.

10. I have a Jewish Postcard and Photo Collection (really archives at this time) of around 10,000 cards and photos of Jews and Synagogues and anything Jewish from the 1860’s on thru yesterday. http://flickr.com/photos/9679871@N04/ or jewishpostcardcollection.com and then flickr. You might find some of the Synagogues interesting. Stephanie – Richardson, Texas
