Why Blog?

Ever since I have told people that I am going to be studying for the rabbinate, I have received so many good wishes and requests to follow my progress. This blog will cover my first year at Hebrew Union College. I will be spending the year in Jerusalem so, besides the rigors of school, there will be so many new experiences coming my way. As of today, I have my plane ticket and have rented an apartment. Now I just need to get myself ready and I'll be on my way. I will start writing on May 31, the day I leave, and hope to update with words and pictures at least once a week. I would love to receive feedback on my posts as well as questions. It will be fun to share this year with you. Of course, if you find yourself in Israel over the next year, I hope you will be in touch.
