In contrast to the relaxing mood of day 2, day 3 was fast paced and hectic. After leaving our hotel, we headed to Zfat, which I soon discovered is one of the holiest cities in Israel. Among countless historical places, this city was where the first Rabbi taught all his disciples for the same of saving Judaism. Another incredible artifact
I have written about keeping the Shabbat before on my blog, but when in Israel, the day of rest takes on a whole new meaning. In the United States, Friday night through Saturday night is considered the weekend, which for many is still a work day. In Israel, the entire country basically shuts down. All the shops close. All business
Today I spent my first true day in Israel. Already seeing how amazing the country is, I was still not prepared for the splendor of the north. First I went Banyas and got very close to the Lebenon border. The waterfall was a spectacular sight as was the gorge created by the river that eventually becomes part of the Jordan
Today I embark on the journey of a lifetime. Today I will be driving south to Miami to catch a plane to the holy land Israel. My Birthright Trip begins today! I will be doing my best to chronicle my trip on my blog, and in a perfect world I would write a post for each and every day

Its known as a Sin in Christianity and known as a character that I have taken quite a fondness for in Fullmetal Alchemist. But the idea of Pride as well as the character of the same name both have major implications for my life in ways that are not so unrelated at all. As far as the idea of
Today is Memorial Day and although a lot of people confuse the event with Veterans Day, this day does not serve to celebrate those soldiers who returned to civilian duty (although you should still tell these brave men and women how important they are) but rather focuses on those who never returned home. Also it needs to focus on
It has come to my attention that I sometimes make statements that are insulting, infuriating, uncalled for, and all around inappropriate. I would like to remind all in the world that this annoying concept of political correctness is bothersome. I could apologize in advance for all the things I do on a daily basis that are at some point
The last couple of days have been an emotional roller coaster. I promised I would write these blog posts in the now and right now. I will admit I am beside myself. While yesterday, I was on cloud nine, tonight is the opposite. Part of it is to blame on my emotions being a little edgy for sure. But
