Off to Israel
Well, I am off to where it all began tomorrow. I am very excited. To go to a place where so many of the "greats" have passed through really has me amped. I am so ready to see things that are thousands of years old and to be in places that have such important meaning to the world's groups. This experience is sure to offer much inspiration. I know myself well and I know it will be so easy to like what I see and to say that I would live there. How could I not? Besides being American and a Devils fan I only identify with being Jewish. Its what I have always been and what I will always be. The USA is home to people from other places. Israel is the place where my people come from. If there is no other place for me to go on this planet I can always go to Israel. I am automatically a citizen in Israel if I want to be. I have always felt apart of the people Israel now I get to see the Land of Israel. This is sure to be a trip of growth and self-reflection. I cannot wait any longer. Have you been to Israel? What did you like the most? What did you like the least? I look forward to sharing pictures and stories with you when I get back.

I hope it is a great experience, dude. Israel, is it 'Mecca' like, one should do it once in their life? Does being Jewish over-ride being Human? No human identity? Self reflection will be a deffinate in a place that so many, in this world's history, have visited. The birth region of todays modern governments is eye opening in and of itself, let alone stand next to the Wall and buildings some of them ate and rested in.
You bastard...It takes you four years to go to Israel, and you are going there, precisely when I am at the US!!! Isn't it nice?!
I think you are expecting the wrong thing. I think that the beauty in Israel is not in its being the beginning of the "Jewish project" and the history, but in its present. The nice and easy feeling of walking at the street, the ability to lay back, and not to participate in the raise towards success, be what you are and find your own place. The spontaneity of existence. The sincerity and the friendliness of the people - not because it is their job, but because they are open and nice (provided that they like you).
Walk the streets and breathe the air of tranquility...Enjoy the free spirit and the craziness of Tel-Aviv and the presence of the past in Jerusalem!!! You are so lucky (and I am so homesick, I guess...)
I'm so happy you are in Israel. Take it for what it is to you. I have tried to figure out answers to your questions about what I liked the most and the least about Israel. Unfortunately I don't have answers. There is no least favorite and favorite for my trip to Israel. It is an amazing experience and everything should be taken for what it's worth.
