I'm still assimilating our recent trip to the Holy Land, and hope to post on it soon.

In the meantime, check out this post from Reb Neil, which is a companion piece to the just released third issue of Klal Perspectives, whose topic is the spiritual malaise of the broader Orthodox community (a troubling topic that has been addressed here as well as other blogs).

It's concise and well thought out, with practical suggestion. Worth reading.
