Jewish music, Jewish Dancing and American Patriotism

Last weekend we went to Boston for a Night to Bless Israel. There we helped set up a night with Jewish music, Jewish Dancing, prayer and American Patriotism. It was quite the experience. The event was held in a decent size meeting room in the State house of Boston. Huge massive banners, flags were hung at the front. Many of the guys walked around with smaller banners that represented the twelve tribes of Israel. After the music there were speakers talking about the importance of supporting Israel. A few pastors and a woman Rabbi spoke. While this was going on, sitting by the window I could hear Palestinian protestors outside yelling "Free Palestine, Free Palestine".

Hearing them yelling, my mind went to news images of rock throwing kids and suicide bombers. This unfortunately caused some fear. Later I found out there were only two them. James (Michigan) and Brandon Crummer (Maui) had an encounter with them later that night. Their purpose was to draw out hatred toward them, but unfortunately for them, Brandon and James apologized for a former response someone else did to them. This just got them more angry calling James and Brandon Satanists.

The Day before we all walked around the city. Boston is a beautiful city, I greatly enjoyed walking around talking to people from all walks of life; Homeless, Christian Preachers, Gays, etc. God was showing us to be atmosphere changers and boy did we; Blessing, loving, cleaning. The streets of Boston was different that day.
