Since this is my last day in Israel, I had to get ready for what's next. I had to somehow start getting my head around the fact that at this time tomorrow, I'll be in a different city, with a different culture, language, and currency, trying once again to figure it out and get oriented. I spent some time last night and today reading up on Istanb...

February 1-The shuk Today, we did our ritual Friday morning trip to the Shuk. We have learned that the trick is getting there very early before the thousands of other people arrive to do their pre-Shabbat shopping. It has been raining last night and this morning, so most of the snow has melted. The Shuk is like shopping at a carnival. We seem t...

so, what have i been up to since my last entry? you might ask, "aaron, what have you been up to since your last entry?" as i have just done. this is a reasonable question, and one i intend to deal with. after having completed my entry this past friday, or yom shishi, i headed into the city. i went to the shuk, whereupon i observed the hoards pre...

January 11, 2008 For those of you who keep up with the news, you know that our fearless leader, G.W. Bush came to Jerusalem on Wednesday & left today for other areas of the country. They literally paralyzed every part of the city where G.W would be travelling. There were snipers, bomb-sniffing dogs, bodyguards, security robots in the sewers...

i pulled an all nighter to write this thing. it was probably the most that God has spoke to me during this semester. my favorite night of my life. just a refreshing time with Him. expect from God at the very beginning, test him on His promises & watch Him fulfill them in your life. He is faithful to do the things He says. this is just a few part...

Between Hebrew only and broken computers this did not go as planned!! But the trip was terrific. We are on our last day and finally the weather is absolutely beautiful.. Let me summarize since the last entry....

We visited Neot Kedumim which is a huge garden displaying the plants and fruits of the Bible. My cousin Mathew did a tree planting ceremony and we also learned how many of the plants tie in to the stories of the Bible. Later that evening we did the Genesis Land camel ride in which we all rode camels through the desert and heard the story of Abr...

On the fifteenth day of the first month, it came to pass that I flew to Israel to attend Hebrew University for six months. The first night here was interesting. It was marked by me dragging my case up eleven flights of stairs in a dorm building, only to realise that I had been taken up the wrong block of dorms and I wanted the other building nex...

Hello again! I am back in my favorite hotel in Jerusalem. The HolyLand Hotel in East Jerusalem near the Damascus Gate. I've dubbed this my home-away-from home while in Israel. The staff here has been just wonderful to me. It is a modest hotel, good for the budget traveler, but very clean and pleasant. The rooms are spacious and as it is away fro...
