so to tell the truth the real thing that i want to write about is my first year in Israel. I always find my self going back there. It was one crazy year. lot of kids come out here for the first year after they finish or drop out of high school. Ha i think that all the people that i was with that first year did not finish high school. well allot of us did but not before coming out to Israel. Well now that i think about it i cant seem to find the right sequence of words to express what went on that year in short, it was just so much.
Well there was allot of drama thats for dam sure, lots of drugs, lots of partying, for me there was a lot of deep contemplation which led me to some crazy things and well in the end i am the only one from the whole crew that was here that first year that is still here and never left. Wow great big realization this post was completely spontaneous but it so happens to be that this week in the lunar or Jewish calender is the exact week that i came to Israel my first year. I know this because a week from this upcoming shabbat is parshat chayey Sarah. In Jewish tradition that week we read the portion of the bible where Abraham bought Hebron for a berial ground for his wife Sarah. In Israel thousands of Jews spend the weekend in the ancient and well very much disputed city to stake the historical claim to the holy site shared by us with our Ishmael cuisines. From that second weekend untill now i have kept that tradition, this year please g-d will be my 13th consecutive year.
Life is one crazy trip
