On the off chance you haven’t read Ivanhoe, it’s a fantastic, fun, action packed account of the post Norman years - with quality Robin Hood and Jewish angles thrown in, too.

Crazy to think what an impact that invasion had on history - and then to think that in a decade under Blair, more foreigners settled in England than in all the centuries between 1066 and 1950!

Wonderful letter. Words matter. Stories matter. This week CNN called the RESCUE of four Israeli hostages a release. Our current society is plagued with corrupted words and stories.
