Yom Kippur in Jerusalem

Today was Yom Kippur. I woke up late and sat on the balcony of our Airbnb. Around 1300 Ron Zach and I walked to Gan Sacher Park. We met some interesting people in the park. We spent about 4 hours there throwing frisbee, laying in the grass, and philosophizing. It's important to bring out your childish nature and not take life too seriously. Channeling childish energy can pave the way for true connection to the infinite. It's my last night in Israel after a three week trip. Wow so many amazing experiences and things I've learned about life and this special place. I'm excited to start the adventure but am so grateful to be in Israel during this time. Everybody told me Sukkot is the best time to be in Israel so I will have to come back another time. The people are so welcoming and treat you like their own. I want to bring this warmness and openness and welcomeness into my own life. To go above and beyond to make the other comfortable. I admire the courageousness and resilience of the soldiers and the people. At times I felt inspired to join the Israeli Defense Force to contribute to the country and people. In the first three weeks here in Israel I learned so much about myself and my outlook on life. I'm looking forward to further growing and integrating my learnings from Israel throughout the trip.
