Blogging from Israel

Sue Catler had an idea that it would be fun for the families of Tifereth Israel to be able to read about my trip to Israel this summer through a blog. Although I've never written a blog before, I thought about it and decided it was a great idea! I am learning and doing so much and this gives me a great opportunity to share what I'm doing in the hopes of encouraging others to experience life in Israel either vicariously through my blog or to come try it for yourself! We have many Tifereth Israel members who are very knowledgeable about living in Israel and have lived here for longer periods of time. However, I am a great example of a fearless American who has not lived here before and I arrived with a great sense of adventure and the desire to experience as much of Israel as possible while taking classes, studying, and learning during a very short time. I don't kid myself into believing that I'm going to be able to understand or learn everything I would want to about the country in one short month, however, I do know that in one short month, I will leave here knowing much more than when I arrived!
