Jerusalem in the Sun

For with You is the fountain of life; in Your Light, we see Light. Psalm 36


No matter how early I arise, the sun is always waiting for me. With hat and sunglasses, I prepare my body for my 15-minute daily walk to the Hartman Institute. I walk past a playground, an elementary school and a small garden where the roosters call me to the morning’s glory. The streets are narrow and centuries old; the landscape is open and surprisingly contemporary.


I am in Jerusalem where the ever-present sun illuminates my spiritual path.
