What’s the fastest way to Israel?
I’m assuming the answer to that would be direct, however, if you look at the picture you will see I’m in Houston. Why am I in Houston, we’ll the short answer would be that I got a free flight to Israel but only if I left from Houston. So while I’m sitting in the Houston airport waiting for a flight to London which will then connect me with a flight to Israel, I have some time to think about the reason for this voyage.
The question you are probably asking, why I would leave my successful life as a CPA to go half way across the world just to live in Israel for 5 months. The answer to that is simple, I don’t know. I don’t know why I felt the need to go live in Israel but it’s something I felt I had to do or I would end up always regretting it. I don’t know why I am more interested in Israeli politics versus American politics, I don’t know why I wake up in the morning and read the Jpost before I read the NY Times, I don’t know why I’m so drawn to Israel when all of my friends and family are either in or around Bmore. “Why is Israel so important to me”? That is the main question I’m hoping to answer over the next 5 months. So while I can’t wait for weekends out in Tel Aviv, camping in the Negev, hiking in the Galilee, spending time in Jerusalem, and eating a ridiculous amount of Humus, I hope somewhere in between all that I figure out why I had to leave everything to go to Israel.
With all that said, am I really missing the entire Ravens season when they are going to dominate the AFC? I must be crazy!
