A few months ago, Arutz Sheva (Israel National Radio) interviewed Stella. I just listened again and was amazed at just how incredible my wife is. (Yes, I already knew, but every now and then she even surprises me.)

You can listen here.

During the interview she talks about her path to Judaism and Israel, with references to Samurai warriors, Potomac, and Neve Daniel. It is really a fascinating interview, especially when she speaks about her philosophy of life. Remember, the interview took place a few months before our current “Matsav.”

As far as an update, I have nothing new to report. Cancer still sucks and my wife is still amazing.

For locals, it is very important that you e-mail us before calling or stopping by since she is catching up on her “beauty sleep” — not that she needs any.

Once again, thank you for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers.

Yarden and Stella

Now, put yourself in my friend’s position and decide if he is a “war criminal.”
