suckot in israel was beutifull! Just coming to the kotel friday night and seeing thousands of people davening with theire heart and souls... Its just stuning...
Then you see a bunch of seminary girls just grabing random people and soldiers and just dancing away at the kotel! where else would u see this? I dont know why the Israelies would pack up thiere bags for Tishrei and move to crown hieghts? I mean i understand they want to be with the Rebbe... we feel the Rebbe here to ... we are in the holy land... the jewish land ... where everything happend... where in the world would you see suckas everywhere? and going to the arba minim shuck erev suckot where thousands of people are selling esrogim and lulavim...? its pretty ausome...I think!
just so many things happend over suckot ... i can sit and write for hours all the dramatic experiences... trying to get on a bus to chevron to be with everyone and go to the kvorim you got pushed and smashed and kicked and literly people risked theire lives to go to chevron and im not exagerating... my friend got a tomato smashed in her face all this to be in chevron! on the way back from chevron was even worse it was insane we tried leaving chevron at 5 30pm we didnt get on a bus till 11pm you had to seriously push and push and push and squish to get on a bus and its like all of a sudden shomer negiah doesnt exsist... u have the frumest rabbies with payis down to thiere toes pushing you and smashing you... its a real turn of, u would think they are so frum that when u ask for directions they stop for a second ...look dow and walk away... they wouldnt look at a girl but when it comes to gettig back home... they can touch,push,squeeze,bite,hit,curse... the whole 9 yards.. wtvr! but in the end it was worth the trip to chevron i had a blast dancing with all my friends at the concert!
anyway like i said i can sit an write for hours lots of thoughts are going on in my head!!! and i wish i could but i dont have much time to be online
anyway guys israel is cool so far! i'm sure it will get better! its only the begining
love you all and miss you tons!!
