Not Frozen in Time 

Yitzchok Landa, Greenland

When Mishpacha’s intrepid Yitzchok Landa flew to frigid Greenland to sample local opinion about US president Donald Trump’s desire to annex the vast arctic island, he also had a chance to survey the wintry landscape — and he found that even this bleak setting has an austere attraction that testifies to the grandeur of the Creator

AJew, a Swiss, and a German are sitting on a bench carved out of snow, staring at the inky black sky. They are high on a mountain overlooking a tiny city, on a frozen island forgotten for thousands of years, ten million miles from nowhere, watching for ghostly green lights.

“I don’t think they’re coming out for us,” the Jew says.

“Es ist kalt,” the German says.

“I’ll stay out of this. I’m okay with whatever you all decide,” the Swiss says.

“Have some more hot chocolate,” a Greenlander interjects.
