Israeli Veterans Recover with Aspen Ski Vacation
The Aspen Times
Injured Israeli vet Yogev Menashe was among the participants in the Golshim L’Chaim program in Aspen this past week.
ASPEN, CO — The Hebrew language has no specific word for “skiing.” The word used — “golshim” — literally means “to slide,” and is also used to describe surfing, even surfing the Internet. Which does not mean skiing is nonexistent in Israel. Located in the country’s extreme north is Mount Hermon — pitched as a “magical winter wonderland,” even if the snow is mostly ice, the lift lines are predictably long, and the roads to get to the slopes are usually clogged.
