EN ROUTE, OCTOBER 26, 1998
The older I get, the harder I find air travel to take, especially to foreign countries, and I avoid it whenever I can. But with my Israeli grandson Alon Blum about to celebrate his bar-mitzvah next Saturday, I have no choice. And so here I am once again, boarding an El Al flight to Jerusalem while trying to console myself with the thought of the compensatory delights of seeing my daughter Ruthie and her four children-all born in Israel since she emigrated from America twenty years ago—that await me over there.
