Toronto Sun Columnist: Next year in Jerusalem...and I mean it!

Sue-Ann Levy at the end of 2017 Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon.

It is Jewish tradition to say “Next Year in Jerusalem” at the end of a  Passover seder and on Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement. In 2018, I plan to do just that. In early March — coincidentally during the same year the Jewish state turns 70 — I will be taking a spiritual journey to Jerusalem. Although I’ve been to Israel several times before, this trip is very special. I won’t just be fulfilling a two-year-long dream to run my 14th half-marathon through the hills, streets and even by the ancient sites of Jerusalem. I will also be running in honour of a cutting-edge organization called Beit Halochem — which translated from Hebrew means House of Warriors — an organization dedicated to rehabilitating and rebuilding the lives of veterans injured while defending and protecting the Jewish state.
