So glad I got my yearly dose of seeing @inbarfruchsad! We have more than 10 years of friendship through @mcwglobal and get to catch up in person every summer. This year, for the first time, we meet up in a totally different country (Kosovo) with our cold-weather clothes. Grateful for the years of laughter and friendship - to more decades of the same. #MCWYLP #MCWFamily #Israel #Palestine #globalcitizens (at Hotel Kosova Park)
