Sussia - a city of Cohanim, over 1,500 years old. Less than a half hour south of Hebron, less than 45 minutes north of Beer Sheva, an amazing site, including a huge shul and a beautiful mosaic floor. Today Sussia was the site of a Brit Milah, not only one, rather of twin boys, born to a young couple, both of whom grew up in Hebron. This week's audio blog, about Sussia, in the Southern Hebron Hills.

The 40th anniversary of the liberation of Jeruasalem and Hebron: the Kotel and Ma'arat HaMachpela. Forty years ago we came back home, liberating the holiest cities and sites in Israel: Jerusalem and the Kotel; Hebron and Ma'arat HaMachpela. In the future, the story of the return to Hebron will read like a legend, but it really happened. I heard it with my own ears from Rabbi Shlomo Goren zt"l. // And on another note: congratulations to Rabby Yehoshua Fass, being honored later this week at the OU dinner in Jerusalem!

Simcha and etzev (happiness and sadness) are sometimes mixed together, as they were one day in Hebron this week - but the lights (and taste) of Purim keep us joyous, even after the holiday. Enjoy!
