I think you are right. <br />While on kibbutz in the Jezreel Valley in 1968, I joined in the effort to put out a fire that started in the Martin Buber Forest in the hills above the kibbutz. We used those same rubber batter things like in my photo. It is very scary work trying to whack fire on the ground just a stick's length away from you. And tiring. But it worked! <br />Dinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03461925401870320466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1014444390969839620.post-40179693370580040082014-08-12T23:56:22.686+03:002014-08-12T23:56:22.686+03:00We won't dwell on it!
