My friend's daughter just got back from 4 months in Israel and another friend's son is preparing to attend Tel Aviv U for a master's next year. My own daughter went on Birthright a few months ago and loved it - she is trying to finagle a free trip back next spring but she isn't an english major/minor - the teacher said she will try to see if an ed major can attend. They keep the country as safe as they can, my Israeli friends feel safer there than in parts of NYC.
I hope your D has a great time.
The story I tell (true and sad) is of a friend who had 2 nephews. One went skiing on winter break and the other went to Israel. We got a phone call that one of the nephews had been killed. This was during the Intifada when homicide bombers were rampant. I said was it a terror attack and the answer was no, it was a tree. The skiing nephew hit a tree and died, the other is now a father of 3. As an aside to that, my d was fine in Israel, she came home and had a skiing accident and had to have her ACL reconstructed.

This is such a wonderful opportunity. I watched the Bachelorette for the first time last night because i was at my mom's. I did my student teaching for a few months in England and it was so fun to watch....I mean 25 years later and it felt like I could smell the air...just such a good thing to travel.

Hello! I just got back from two weeks in England. Back here in Israel life carries on ticking over just like anywhere else in the world. Please don't worry about your daughter. I hope she has an amazingly wonderful experience here. If you want her to have personal contact with someone from the board, PM me and I'll give you my contact details for her. I live in Jerusalem and I would be more than happy to invite her to my home.
Being apart can be very healthy for them, and for us parents. It makes us appreciate the good things we take for granted most of the time, and gives us a break from the not-so-good things that annoy us about our kids.
Keep us updated.
Love, Esther

Jerusalem is full of Christian holy sites and there is loads for her to see. Also, there is a festival of light at the moment in Jerusalem, and I have seen pictures of it and it is just amazing. I hope she gets to see it for real. The pictures I have seen are beautiful. Don't worry, I bet she's having the time of her life!

Jody, you haven't PM-d me yet. My offer stands, although she's probably having such a whale of a time that she won't want to spend any time with an old fogey like me!
Love, Esther
