Regards from israel #2

hey ...
how are you? i miss you all so much it feels so weired not to talk to you so often anymore... well today was quite an emotional day for me... I went to the kotel for the second time, this time we went with the whole seminary we toured yerushalim and stuff and then our last stop before we would return to Lod was the kotel. Since we had free time before that i went to the kotel with a few girls.... as I'm walknig through security, all of sudden i see thousands of soldiers... It was absolutly stunning.... serisouly ...i've never seen soo many soldiers before.. i just stood on top of a mountain and watched what was going on.
A soldier on the side crying as he was saying goodbye to his family
another soldier huging his mother... It was time, time for them to be sworn in to the army for about 4 years and they wont be with thiere familys, they will be here for us... saving our lives making sure we are protected... then a few minutes later as i watcher them being sworn in the army by the kotel holding a torah in thier hand... all of them were getting ready and they are all saying bye to there families ... and taknig pictures... and they just looked sooo happy to be doing it like all of them have a smile on thiere faces and they are so confident about it... it was stunnig i just like burst out crying.. it was really emotional for me i was thiking about "on a mountain of isreal" .... so many things were flaring through my mind... and then it jsut hit me... i am in isreal! im in the holy land.... this place is amzaing... I better start making the best of it before its too late...

Ahh... I'm in Israel

well well
once again i dont have much time to write! but ill give you a quick preveiw of my first week in Lod! ko so i got off the airport i thought i was landing in a farm! isreal was not what i expected well.. i was told to kiss the floor since it was my first time here so i did!!! then we went to yerushalim that night and ate at ben yehuda! i guess thats where the action is and all the music and dancing that i expected! but thats pretty much it .. i havent gone to the kotel yet but i will G-D willing go tomorrow morning and daven at the kotel and im realy excited!

so honestly its not so bad i actualy like it! eventhough its a hole and theres nothing to do here... but the people are great, the girls are fun and were learning a whole lot! so thats pretty good!
the funniest thing is that i dont know a word of hebrew and half my clases are in hebrew so i get a kick out of those clases!!! anyway guys i have sooo much to write in so little time... so ill jsut leave you all with a small thought! life is great and make the best of it learn as much as you can seriously... the holy land needs our prayers!!
love you and miss you all!!!!
