The seed of Open House was sawn when Dalia Eshkenazi {now Landau} opened the door to three strangers who rang the bell in July 1967. It was right after the Six Day War and Dalia, like the rest of her people, felt a sense of the miraculous at the end of that war: not only was Israel delivered from the threat of being invaded on all sides by Syria in the North, Egypt in the South and Jordan in the East, but, in fact, it was all reversed; it was Israel, who in defending herself, invaded the Golan Heights from Syria, Sinai and Gaza from Egypt, The West Bank and Jerusalem from Jordan. Dalia was alone at home when she opened the heavy green iron gate with the large heavy iron key which seemed to have always been there. The three young men stood shyly dressed in suits and ties in the summer heat. Dalia could sense their insecurity. On an inner impulse, or intuition perhaps, Dalia smiled and said “come in”..

The fact that it was winter was not going to stop Grant from continuing to push the Confederacy toward extinction. While the Armies of the Potomac and the James facing Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia remained relatively quiet, there was action on other fronts. The prime mover was Sherman who had reached Savannah at Christmas and was planning to move north into the Carolinas. National Register nomination process in Georgia.

Did Jamestown’s Settlers Drink Themselves to Death? - History in the Headlines. In the fall of 1609, several hundred European settlers were struggling to survive on swampy Jamestown Island, riding out a brutal drought and hoping for boatloads of supplies.
By the following spring, after a horrific winter that became known as the “starving time,” all but 60 had perished. Four hundred years later, historians can only speculate about the causes of this massive population collapse, which nearly snuffed out the first permanent English settlement in North America. But a team of geologists at the College of William & Mary may be closing in on a suspect: drinking water fouled by salt, arsenic, human waste or a medley of these contaminants.
Life was no picnic for the Jamestown colony’s earliest founders, but at least they had enough to eat. But in the fall of 1609, shortly after the arrival of new ships packed with more mouths to feed, a disastrous sequence of events plunged Jamestown into famine, said Whittenburg.
