While there is some crime here in Israel, there are also so many very honest people. Here is an example (and this kind of thing has happened to us on a number of occasions): last night we took a taxi home from Menucha's dance recital. My cell phone must have fallen out onto the seat of the cab, and I didn't even realize it wasn't in my purse when I got out.
This morning I got a call from...the taxi driver. He had found my home number in the cellphone, and called to tell me he had found it.
This afternoon, he dropped the phone off at my house, and wouldn't take any money from me for his trouble. There are some wonderful people in the world...
