number of miles between New York and Tel Aviv.
less than a week ago i was there. and Shabbat was perfect. Outside, with yellow roses and prayers for eachother, and then inside, with singing and dancing in an elevator lobby. Proves that 40 dedicated people can do anything anywhere and make any space okay, perfect even. Last friday evening I sang and danced as I watched out the window as the sun set over the old city of Jerusalem and the moon rose. Last friday was Kabbalat Shabbat in Israel, and I felt more moved by services than I ever had before. By last friday, crazy bus 494 was some strange family, and though we fought, we all cared much more than could be shown on any surface. Last friday I was surrounded with beauty. Last friday I felt home and at peace, and the world seemed to make sense.
I need to go back to Israel.
