Israel has been amazing. definatly a life changing experience. my dorm (and school) are in a very poor neighborhood ( and i mean POOR as in like NO MONEY...it really gives u a perspective) and we do what we can to help families . but at the same time they are constantly inviting us over for meals that they can't afford, i have to tell you it's hard being the only person at a table with a full peice of chicken but the "rules" are you eat it because it makes them happy. it's very interesting anyways. but im heading back (hopefully tonite i had a problem with my flight last night and had to stay over) to the comforts of home for the next 4 weeks and im looking forward to it.
