Making the Connections

Thursday was a day filled with Jewish geography, reconnecting with old friends and making new ones.

Much to our delight, another intern at JCPA and I discovered we had both attended Solomon Schechter School of Queeens (or as we say: SSSQ). Over lunch we delighted in reminiscing over all the hilarious personalities of the teachers we both had. He's 7 years older than me and yet many of the teachers were the same.

Later that afternoon I get a call from my advisor from my time on National Mazkirut and we have a great conversation about past Young Judaea and the implications for the future, a future that I hope to play a role in.

While at the supermarket with Ilana we get an excited call from Tal telling us to get home and guess who's in our apartment. I got to see possibly my two favorite counselors of all time: Tishel, who was the counselor of our chug's boy bunk back in Hadracha and Amit, my counselor from Machon. Not only are they both doing the summer program (granted with FZY), but they're also best friends! Very exciting to see them.

That night Rafi and I were planning on going to dinner. He calls me saying he's bringing a friend and that I should bring mine. We go to a meat place (obviously) on Emek Refaim. It was so much fun sitting around the table with my best friends, cousin and his friends and seeing everyone enjoying themselves and having a good time.
