Everything in perspective

It’s been incredibly hot in Israel — even in Jerusalem, which is supposed to be more pleasant than Tel Aviv because it is “dry heat,” it’s been an oven — but Gavriel’s daughter doesn’t seem to mind:

Miriam and I were hiding under the shade of an umbrella at the beach.

“Right, Abba [Daddy], on that planet closest to the sun it’s too hot and we’d burn up?”

I turned to Miriam and nodded.

“And right, on the farthest away planet it’s so cold we’d freeze?”

Another smiling nod.

“So in Eretz Israel (the Land of Israel) it’s not so bad.”

Interesting observation for a 5-year-old. I still thought it was a
tad warm for comfort, though.
