Tzippe Barrow
From her perch high atop the mountains surrounding Jerusalem, Tzippe Barrow tries to provide a bird’s eye view of events unfolding in her country.
Tzippe’s parents were born to Russian Jewish immigrants, who fled the czar’s pogroms to make a new life in America.
As a teenager, Tzippe wanted to spend a summer in Israel, but her parents, sensing the very real possibility that she might want to live there, sent her and her sister to Switzerland instead.
Twenty years later, the Lord opened the door to visit the ancient homeland of her people.
