[What I currently remember of what I wrote on the plane at above time in a notebook which is currently a building and 3 floors away.]
I just officially decided on Monday morning, hours before leaving for Ohare, that I would create a blog to keep family and friends informed of what I am doing in Israel. Sorry for the delay in creating/posting, but I have fairly little internet access.
For those who do not know, I am participating in a gap year program called Nativ, which is Hebrew for path (so I have hopefully eliminated any confusion about the blog name implying a distance can be measured in time). I will spend 9 months in Israel, 1st semester studying at the Conservative Yeshiva in Jerusalem and 2nd semester living and working at Kibbutz Ein Tzurim. Throughout the program, I will do community service, participate in leadership seminars, and go on tiyulim (tours), as well as be able to explore the country.
My current plan for the blog is to post approximately every week, hopefully with impeccable spelling and grammar. I will tell of what I see, hear, do, and learn.
And, to hopefully make this more amusing, I will end each post with some sort of trivia that may possibly but not necessarily be important to the general public.
Trivia: How many times was I asked to got back to my seat (as in leave friends 5 rows in front of me) on my El Al flight? Too many times to count.
