Continuing what Aviva wrote:? I was teaching during the Six Day
War, the October War, the War of Attrition etc. When have we not
had wars? I always felt that however much I wanted them to succeed,
I should not be too hard on the 'Yud Bet' students. I knew they were
about to join the army. It always sobered me. And then utter sadness
when I saw the name of an ex student on the memorial wall of the
school. This is the world we live in, and we have to face up to it.
I feel for all of you who are teaching today. I wish you strength.
