Our Land
I used to ride buses between Beer Sheva and Jerusalem. I was always mesmerized by Israel’s scenery outside the window of the bus.
Getting Around
I didn’t sleep much last night. I waited for a drone and missile attack that didn’t happen in Pardes Hannah. To begin my volunteerhood, I had to go to Or Akiva. So that was the first adventure. I had to learn which was the right bus to get on, and I had to learn how to use the Rav Kav card to pay. With help from good people all around, I got to the destination.
What A Way To Start An Adventure
What A Way To Start An Adventure: It’s only two days since I arrived in Israel, and I am stilling feeling jetlagged. It’s Saturday, Shabbat, the Sabbath. I managed to wake up early, and go to a synagogue that Shai (my airbnb host) and I found yesterday evening. There was a bar mitzvah. So the synagogue was not overly crowded, but a lot of people were there. Except for one segment, the bar mitzvah boy read the entire parashah. And he read it well.
Two AM
Whew! An attack is coming. It looks like an invitation to all out war on all of Israel’s fronts; Iran and Iraq to the East, Yemen to the South, Syria and Hezbullah to the North, and there is still Gaza to the West, A drone and missile attack. Looks like I’ll be up all night. What a Way To Start an Adventure.
