hey kids
im writing to you from tel aviv israel
israel is amazing
my good pal dror took me all over tel aviv my first three days here on the back of his scooter which as it turns out is the only way to see this city
ok
its no nyc
listen i think there are more people in nyc then in the whole country of israel
but its still a way cool city
i loved finding all the neighborhoods some
really built up with sky scrapers some
feeling very rustic with outdoor markets ..tons of falafel
and lots of soldiers who look honestly to be about 14 years old
ok they are 18
but honey they are kids with rifles
the other wacky thing is that there are thousands
i mean thousands of
cats everywhere
feral cats
who live off begging
i kept eating half my food
taking the other half to go to feed the kitties.. oh if only i could save them all
after 3 nights in tel aviv i went to eilat
this is in the south where its hot
it was warm enough to in tel aviv but not beach weather
in eilat its dessert hot honey but still cold at night
so i went there for some real vacation time
and except for the fact that you have to wear shoes in the ocean
because of an abundance of sea urchins with porcupine quills
ouch
it rocked
its weird being in kosher hotels
and watching the whole town close down for the sabbath
and listening to everyone speak in a language that i only ever heard in the synagogue
but its way cool
and for once being jewish does not feel like a minority but a huge majority
now i just got back to tel aviv
im gonna have dinner in town with dror
then tomorrow we are off to
finally
ah yes
jerusalem
ive been writing notes to put into the wall
so far i have like 10 pages
i sure hope it fits
got lots of prayers to put forth
i hear they are gonna make me wear a skirt
oy
small price to pay
to get closer to my higher power
and speaking of higher power
i just read an intro book to the kabbalah
and honey
dont make fun of me if i put on that red string
because i really think kaballah may be where its at
i had not realized how open it was to all religions
not just judaism
and how much it is similiar to my own beliefs
namely
its all about the energy
and finding the light in life
so im off
to find the light
kids
and when i do
i will surely shine it right on ya
shalom
and as they say in the signs on the public beaches here
go in peace
