Hola to all, I just joined this site. No, I am not jewish, at least not that I would know for sure. I am from Spain (living in Germany), my grandmother from a small town in Avila, which was mostly sephardic back 500 years ago, before the sephardic jews where forced by the Spanish Inquisition to convert or to leave Spain. So who knows what my roots are. Since my youth I was drawn to the jewish culture. Why? I have no idea, it was something very deep rooted that I could not explain. I wanted to experience Israel, especially I wanted to work in a kibbutz. Destiniy had other paths for me, but I kept that dream all this years. Then I got badly hurt and landed in the wheelchair with a paraplegia and I thought the dream to visit Israel would be impossible. But this wish was quite persistent and during the years could not be buried. Now 30 years later that "draw" to Israel has surfaced again very strongly. And this time I am planing on visiting Israel. Maybe through this site I can find people that help me with information about accessibility, information about the country. I would be travelling alone in a wheelchair....so it will be quite an adventure. I am not searching the catholic religious paths. Just want to experience Israel with its people and culture. Thank you, muchas gracias for any information you can give me. saludos
