Beautiful, I think that we Jews in general can pretty much trust each other. While there are a few bad apples, most of us are trustworthy, thank G-d like family

On the trip to Israel can we go to Manilla Mall and to Holon near Tel Aviv and to see the Israeli Knesset ? Those places are places that Lori Palatnik talk about in being Jewish in Israel.

We need to be trustworthy.
We need to be trustworthy in order to be trusted. Let's wear the fact that we're Jewish like a badge of honor that we don't want to tarnish.We need to feel that in our family it would be a shameful thing to be the opposite. What a tremendous impression it would make on the whole world and a wonderful reflection on G-d if we could make it a top priority to live that way.
