Spontaneity

Those that know me, know I live for surprises and adventure. This is for sure another reason why I am loving my life over here. My friend, Aaron, came to visit me on Thursday night in Tel Aviv and was getting back on the bus Friday afternoon to return to Kibbutz Tzuba when he suggested that I come along with him. An hour and a half later I was on the bus on the way to the kibbutz.

Last night we went to services at Kol Hanshama, the famous Reform synagogue in Jerusalem. Afterwards we had an awesome dinner at the kibbutz and I finally met the much talked about Reuven. Reuven is a Jewish History teacher and one of sister Robin's most influential teachers. To this day, she quotes him in her essays. This morning we had services at the kibbutz led by future Rabbi Aaron (he did a great job) and this afternoon I will be going on a hike to see the oldest and biggest mikvah (Jewish ritual bath) and even more amazingly has the oldest depiction of John the Baptist on its walls.

I know this is a short post, but I am trying to do a better job of writing more often:) Shavua tov! (Good week)
