I am preparing for a wonderful trip -- to take place beginning June 18.  On that date, my wife Susan and I will travel to Israel and participate in the Shimon Peres Presidential Conference -- Tuesday to Thursday of this week.

On Friday morning, I will fly to Germany -- spending Shabbat in the city of Bielefeld -- returning to Berlin on Sunday (June 24).  The Cantors Assembly Mission officially begins on Thursday, June 28.  We have approximately 75 cantors and 300 people in our "entourage."  Programming will take place primarily in Berlin and Munich.

 I invite colleagues and others traveling to share experiences and photos as I will.
