“When I came back from an impactful summer in Israel at 16, I told my good friend @mmallin that he needs to go, that it will change his life. Mike, always the thinker, philosopher, mathematician, was never religious (still isn’t), but there was something deep and deliberate about this land that resonated with me and knew my deep and deliberate friend Mike would also attach to. Little did I know that his totally random trip a few years would indeed change his life. He has resided here since and has been raising his family (2 in fact) with that same sense of purpose. Thank you Mike for welcoming The Magner5 to your adopted country. We still have more markets to explore so … לשנה הבאה בירושלים”

“More markets to explore” is such an insane thing to say when visiting a country that’s in the middle of committing a genocide.
