It’s been a little over a week now since we left Israel, and
my body is just starting to catch up on sleep. Although it feels good to be in
my own bed again and return to my studies, I would give anything to be back in
Israel. For some reason I felt different
there, it was like I was a different person altogether. Coming into the trip I
had no expectations, and was not sure I would connect to this land on a
spiritual level. I did not have that
connection for the first few days, but once we visited Tsfat that all
changed. Tsfat had that essence in the
air that is indescribable. I think the best way I can attempt to even explain
it is that it made me warm inside (even though it was freezing and raining) and
my heart began to beat harder. This was
especially true after jumping in the mikva, a natural pool of water that is
supposed to cleanse your soul.
Since being back in the United States, things have not been
the same. I am having a great semester and am enjoying being back with my home
friends, but everyday I think about Israel and wish I was back there. I made closer friends in those ten days than
I have in ten years with other people in my life. I can’t wait to see everyone again for the
reunion and continue our sbaba time!! I
LOVE YOU MAYANOT 303!!
