Tiyul - Getting My Jew On
Wow, only a few weeks left before Galina, HEU Tara and I jet off to the Holy Land. I think I am more excited about this trip to Israel than I was about Brasil. I think my cousin the Negev is more excited about our coming than we are (if thats possible). She has been planning, re-planning, gathering family and making our intra-Israel arrangements for months. My guess is that she doesn't get a whole lot of visitors, sadly. And its too bad too, being Israeli Police, she can show us places most tourists (heck, most Israelis) wont see.
While we won't be visiting my cousin in the West Bank, he will be meeting us in Be'er Sheva for Shabbat and again in Yerushalayim. I kinda want to see the West Bank, but then again, I kinda don't, lol.
Anyway, now about that 4 months of work I have yet to do before I leave. That will explain my lack of coherent postings and one-line comments. Sorry.
L'hitraot,
Shalom!

Your first time in Israel? You'll love it; you'll feel at home; you'll come right back when the trip is over.
This country is magnetic, for us Jews.
Oh, and a piece of advice: If you try a street shwarma, don't before 10am. The meat's not cooked through earlier than that...

Michael, yeah, I have been meaning to go there for some time, since the Jewish part of the family relocated there in 1972, but it always seemed a "bad time".
I'm excited to see the family, the history and to see how I feel when I stand at HaKotel for the first time.
