Avi's Ultimate Adventure

And today, that adventure begins.

I feel as if my entire existence has been preparation for what's to come. Hebrew Academy, Hasbara, Hillel......I guess this trip to Israel is the culmination of years of mental and emotional growth to allow me the courage to go to Israel with the confidence that I now have on my own ability to lead a good Jewish life in the only Jewish state in the world.

What's this feeling I have? Am I nervous? excited? Some combination of both? I think it's the knowledge that a change is coming......We get so bogged down in our own personal routines, that I think when change does come, it's only natural to question it. We are creatures of habit and comfort, so when that comfort gets traded in for meaning, we become a bit apprehentious.....and maybe that's what I'm feeling now.

I am really excited for the Hasbara trip....great group of kids and I get to work with some of my fave people on the planet. After that.....your guess is as good as mine.

Stay tuned for more updates on this, my ultimate adventure!!!!
