註釋
We stopped by a simple stone monument. "What does it say?" Aviva paused to read the Hebrew. "It commemorates the soldiers who died while taking the hill in the 1948 War of Independence. There was probably a village here." "What do you mean?" "Probably some Arab village." I turned to Aviva. "They planted trees over an Arab village?" "Sure." "Why would they do that?" Aviva shrugged. "To make the land beautiful, I guess." I stared at her. Then I rubbed my temples. Aviva seemed like a stranger. My head buzzed. I wanted to say, This is not a forest. Instead I said, "What happened to the people who used to live here?" When Mia, a Jewish teenager from Toronto, goes to Jerusalem to spend the summer studying at the yeshiva, or seminary, she expects to connect with the land and deepen her understanding of Judaism. Instead she gets a crash course in both the politics of the Middle East and the intricacies of the human heart, and discovers a whole new way of looking at the world.
