In one hour Janet and I leave for the airport to fly to Israel where we will spend a week in Jerusalem — my favorite city in the world (with Rome a close second).

Meanwhile, Israel’s 5.2 million Jews make up 81 percent of the country’s 6.8 million people, according to a Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) census published Tuesday.
