BRB, Israel

Family & friends,
Thank you for your lovely goodbyes. Every one of your “have an amazing time”’s and “don’t say no to anything”’s over the past few days have built the excitement up to a boiling point which can only lead up to a crazy, loud, security-guard-filled time in the airport tomorrow, outside the usually quiet airline offices.
Your gifts ranging from chocolates to a Swiss Army Knife with a built in saw will keep us going through the year. Every time we miss our shower or bed or a home-cooked meal, we’ll have something to remember your pretty faces by.
Time to zip up our suitcases, cry out all our bodily fluids & head off.
Stay safe, don’t do anything we wouldn’t do.
Nir

  1. Guys and girls...I'll miss your faces in a BIG way.

    Please feel free to stay in touch to share thoughts, dilemmas, existential crises with me and I you have my guarantee of a properly-considered reply within days.

    I'm about to head home after my 'Shnat 2.0' and (somehow what has turned into yet another year of learning and travelling [Israel, U.S., UK and Europe] and grappling with BIG Jewish questions) and I wonder if I might have caught an incurable Shnat Bug.

    Bless you all and much much love.

    Joel (Mr. Gillis/That Mad you had once...)
