It took me awhile to digest this post. Oy!!! Thank you for being there, for sharing your amazing experiences, and for being you! And I especially want to thank your parents for raising you!

What comprehensive narrative about your joys and fears being in Israel for a Smicha, volunteering, and suddenly finding yourself literally in the middle of a war. You always deliver. So glad we part of your spiritual experience of parsha Shlach and all the rewarding experiences,

people and places you encountered while in Israel. Soon itโ€™s Shabbas. Time to relax

Of course I knew about your experiences every step of the way - thank you for always being in touch - but reading about it through your words and this lens is so moving but not surprising - the fear you felt at times, the love for the people, the country, spiritualityโ€ฆ. I am glad you had this experience - it has shaped you further and will be an important part of you going forward. I will not be surprised when you make Aliyah. I love you.
