One Week


    By December 6th, which was exactly one week into the program, we had already had our first overnight Tiyul, began Core Class and Sequentials, and established close friendships. Now, we have only that same amount of time left. Today is our last day of Finals for everything we have learned in our Sequentials since we have been here. Tomorrow, we are heading to the Golan Heights for our last overnight Tiyul. We return Thursday night, have our last Core Class Friday morning, and then stay on campus with everyone for a closed Shabbat. Sunday is our Core Class Final and Monday, "the Symbolic Day" as they call it, includes a last visit to the Kotel and Ben Yehudah Street. Then, around one am Tuesday morning, the devastating moment arrives. Our bodies load the buses while our hearts remain behind. One week to make it count. Let's go.

  2. You have such a positive way of looking at things, yes a week is a long time! We know you are not ready to come home, but we are ready to have you back! Can't wait to hear about everything first hand. I know Israel is a special place and it will be hard to leave. Enjoy the time you have left, love you and miss you xoxo
