As we welcome spring and are inspired by the signs of new life all around us, what are you doing to invigorate your life? In the past year, I took a two-week Christian study tour of Israel that provided a wonderful exploration and further grounding in my faith. David Swirnoff and Merry Firschein ’87 also visited Israel in the fall. Have you undertaken significant travels, changed jobs, started new academic studies or expanded your family? Let me know so we can all be inspired.
