About this listen

It started with a buried bomb.

Rodney was born in South Africa. His family made “aliyah” and moved to Israel when he was a young boy, where he grew up in a local kibbutz community, and joined the Israeli Defense Forces when he was 19. Years later, after fighting through twelve years of bureaucracy to purchase land and settle south of Beersheba, thieves from the neighboring Bedouin village threatened to ruin his peaceful lifestyle. So he buried a grenade for the next intruder. But then something changed.

Listen in as Rodney shares stories from his life: his road trip from South Africa to Israel-Palestine, being put on trial along the way in Africa, his long journey to find a peaceful place to live, the resort area he built, and what he’s learned about patience.
