After days of traveling, we're now on day two here at Kibbutz Tzuba. It looks completely different from how I imagined it, but I love it anyway. It's wild to actually be here after imagining it for so long. This is my blog for Jewish History class, which happens to be taught by Aaron Gertz, the Rosh for our session when I was in Shomrim in 2008 at URJ Camp Newman. He still remembered the twins and I. I'll be posting at least twice a week, usually about Jewish related things and probably about my experiences in Israel.

    How lucky / blessed you are to have re-connected with a prior camp counselor; it's a small world, especially when you're Jewish. Make the most of this special time in your life; I know it will be filled with joy, excitement, discovery and more than a few holy moments. It's great to be a Jew, and it's even more special to be a Jew in Eretz Yisrael.
    Love,
    Dad

    Ben - How is the Kibbutz different than you imagined? That is so cool that Gertz was your Rosh and now is your teacher in Israel (a small community indeed) His blog is so interesting. I can tell he is going to be an amazing teacher. I am excited for you because you are going to get such a great education in the land of milk and honey!!!!
