A Long Awaited Adventure
Today marks Jerusalem Day. This a commemoration of the reunification of Jerusalem after being split apart by the enemies of the Jewish people for so long. This event occurred at the end of the six day war as the entire City of Jerusalem was once again under Israeli and thus Jewish control.
To me this is a significant and exciting reminder of my soon to be great adventure. This June, I finally will get to see the holy land, my homeland, with my own eyes and not the eyes of Google, or Facebook, or other forms of media.
This is a moment I have awaited for almost seven years of my life. So for those of you who have played legend of Zelda, the same amount of years that Link was trapped in the Temple of Time. Think about that for a moment. A lot has changed not just in my life, but in the entire world at large.
Still, I am undaunted in my goal of seeing the Holy Land for myself. I do not fear the hostile neighbors Israel has to contend with. As a Jew and an Aspie, I have been beset by enemies on all sides my entire life. In a way, I deal with the same fear that the state of Israel encounters. I have no fear for my enemies.
My excitement is mounting as in a little less than three weeks, I will set out on an adventure that will change my life.
These updates will be written in blog posts for your enjoyment. But until then, Am Yisrael Chai!
