Don't Blink Or You'll Miss It

The weeks are truly passing in the blink of an eye. I feel like every time I turn around it’s another Shabbat. My classes are slowly coming to an end and I am finishing up my projects. Even though when I first arrived it seemed like I had forever here, I knew my time would fly. I have a lot that I am looking forward upon returning to the US, but it’s really hard for me to believe it’s almost time to go home.

I am sad that my classes are ending; they have been a truly wonderful experience. I have met so many great people, including both the students and the professors, and have been surrounded by so many talented people. I feel like I have learned a lot about myself both as an artist and a person.

I have 2 more weeks left in my apartment and then a month after that left in Israel. And incase anyone is wondering- it is now hot as blazes here. It’s hard to imagine it was ever freezing and rainy. As many of my new friends start to go home, I am looking forward to some old friends making their ways to Israel. For the month of July I am planning on volunteering on an organic farm for a couple weeks as well as taking in every last delicious olive and bite of falafel that I can before heading home.

The street signs remind me where I am

This is an old picture from when I went to the Kibbutz in the desert, but I like knowing that Becka
and I have been taking photos on Shabbat with each other for 12 years now
