Due to the ongoing craziness that is our world, we have not had an RCC evening since February. March rolled around and with it the Coronavirus pandemic, and everything came to an immediate halt.

As a consolation, Dr. Moises … Continue reading KFWE-Israel 2018

My notes were sparse as the conversation around the … Continue reading RCC Israel #9
