Crastinate

The clapping started as soon as the wheels touched ground. That doesn’t happen when traveling anywhere else. When traveling to Israel, however, this is an expected occurrence. I’ve been to Israel many times and while I know what to expect, I’m trying to tour Israel this time with a different perspective. As an Orthodox Jew, Israel’s religious history and spirituality is where I usually make my connection. On this trip, I’m trying to admire the balance of old and new worlds that Israel has become since its inception in 1948.

Tomorrow I will tour Jerusalem with Tamar, Brian, Loren, Michelle, Barry, and Jeanine. I’m hoping to gain a new insight into areas I’ve visited many times. I’ll let you know how it goes.
