Abstract:

There is something in me that does not mind having a street named for Kansas City in our neighborhood in Tiberas. There is some other part of me which cringes when I see musical instrument cases with tags on them which say "provided by Project Renewal." I can identify with the Israelis' feeling and the reaction to all the plaques and road signs and the commemorations of gifts received from the Jewish communities and individuals throughout the world. They can't do without it, but oh the feelings they must have!
