My stay here and Israel is coming to a close two more days and I’ll be back home in Arizona I had a great time the past six weeks here in Israel and they will be explained through I will remember for the rest of my life. The friends I made here or friends that I will never forget I look forward to seeing them later in the year maybe at the international convention for my youth group BBYO and maybe if they come visit me in Arizona I go visit them and where they live on the East Coast. There are many aspects of Israel that I will miss one aspect is the food the food here is way better than back home though a little more pricey it is totally worth it. As I said in previous blogs I didn’t enjoy falafel back home but now falafel is one of my favorite foods buy here. Shakshuka is also food that I really enjoyed back home and here I have no trouble trying to find it is on every menu that I come across. The people here are a lot are also very kind towards Americans though it may seem like they try to rip us off I hope they aren’t. I enjoy trying to use my Hebrew in a place where everybody speaks he will better than me so hopefully when I go back home I won’t forget the Hebrew that I have a learned here. One thing I won’t miss is the hectic driving in Arizona honking is a rarity well in his real honking is everywhere it’s like a typical American city. The environment in Arizona is very so much for the buyer meant here though it is very humid here I will miss the many water holes all over Israel. A short distance away there is the Mediterranean Sea, having the Dead Sea on the lowest points in the world, the kinneret and the Jordan River. I feel that I have changed as a Jew living here for six weeks I do not feel more spiritual but I do you fit to feel more immersed in the culture and I have learned many traditions that like to bring back home. As you may know we do have one teacher guides us through Israel as our tour guide and his name is Yossi. . I have learned so much about him and Israel threw his amazing stories and knowledge about the places that we go to. This trip has help me improve independence and living without my parents and will help the just hop this trip has help me improve independence and living without my parents and will help me adjust to living in college by myself. I am very sad that I have to leave because of so much more of his role but I love to explore but my home is still in the states and so is my dog. Goodbye Israel and I hope to see you soon in on maybe birthright or sometime I bring my future family.
