Snippets from Israel
I pride myself in being OCD. However, I would like to take a moment and teach you a few lessons about traveling to Israel.
1) Always check all airplane pockets for personal belongings. If you fail to do so, you may leave your reading device in said pocket.
2) Always check your hair styling device for a specific tag telling you not to use an adapter/converter for international outlets. If you fail to do so, you may end up blowing your beloved hair styling device and therefore lose electricity in you room while getting ready for Shabbat.
3) Always be careful using your hands while speaking around the Shabbat table. If you fail to do so, you will spill something on the beautifully laid out table (that could stain), feel terrible and massively embarrassed, and be unsure of how to proceeded. It is awkward, just keep those hands in your lap. For the record though, your new friends will be very gracious.
Now that your lessons are complete, please enjoy a few pictures with a little commentary.
My 2 favorite colors are green and blue. When visiting one location I had to take a picture by this wall of green while adorned in my blue shirt. I found so much joy in this that a fellow traveler, whom was not in our group, asked to take my picture with the wall as well, because she got a kick out of my excitement. I also said, this confirms G-d loves me
My friend Gidon is a passionate teacher and student. And always up for fun.
I had to take a picture! I heart Hebrew!
Love the support from Israel of our favorite American teams.
As see in this group of pictures Israel has many things we
see in America. Even pizza delivery on a motorcycle.
Israel has a lot of history, but is very modern.
This is most of our crazy crew. We had so much fun together. Frequently our fearless leaders were found waiting on us. In this shot we were left wondering where one of them were.
The traveling university.
One of the best gifts I gained from Israel is my friend pictured here. We knew each other before, but we went from casual friends to sister friends. I am so thankful for her and the gift of her friendship. The Lord knew I needed her.
I might not like to fly, but it sure is good for pictures and travel selfies.
I am so thankful I had the opportunity to travel to Israel.
One has to spend money to travel, but traveling makes one richer.
