VOLUME IV, AUGUST 1999
This week's Tel Tip goes for the rest of the year too: Drink plenty of water! Don't listen to Pia who said the first week: "I'd rather dehydrate than use the portapotties." No no. Water is the best way to make a healthy body happy and a sick body healthy. And remember, if you're thirsty, you're not drinking enough!

The Holy City
by Edgar Martin del Campo

As soon as I had seen the Old City of Jerusalem, I knew that I would write my next essay on it. It would seem natural for a seminary student to reflect on one of the most important places in the history of monotheistic religion. Ultimately, it felt most appropriate to work with my first impressions of the religious sites within the Old City.

FASHION: The fashion world has gone through an unmentionable number of "season colors." Orange is the chosen one for this fall and here on the kibbutz we have one for this summer…sand. The stylists elitists have decided upon "sand" for its down-to-earth feel and also because when digging every day from 5-1 no one can tell if you are actually dirty or simply stylin'. Call 1.800.555.SAND for information on where you can buy some summer sand items.
