Sorry I left you waiting!

Hello all random people who have decided this is entertaining! I know it had been awhile since I wrote you all and I am sorry about that. I promise that life really is this exciting an I truly don't have time to write here and talk about everything that I want to say as it is happening. I'll try to give you the FULL experience. Rosh Hashanah was absolutely amazing. I have never felt so religiously connected at a service in the last 8 years if not in my entire life. I felt like what I was saying was actually connecting to G-d. It was amazing. I was also REALLY sick the first day so I ended up going home from services but night time services the night before were amazing. The second day I went to Yedidya which was also an amazing time and we were hosted away for lunch. There 13 year old son was checking me out. Best Afternoon Ever. Then this past week after the Chag we had school and I GOT A 93 ON MY WEEKLY HEBREW TEST and it was all spelling which means I actually know...maybe....kind of what I'm saying! SOMETHING SO OVERWHELMINGLY FANTASTIC HAPPENED! I had religious enlightenment...at the church of the holy Sepulcher. I know that sounds a little bit ridiculous because, you know, the whole jewish thing but it was so spiritual. The person that actually caused this change was my Jerusalem History teacher. As we were ending class me and my friend Laur went up to Keren and talked to him about how spiritually connected we felt while in the church. How we could tell this place completely over whelmed people and even brought them to tears and how we, as a jewish people, didn't have something so tangible that could bring us closer. He then proceeded to look around and question us. He told us that we were standing on the Tangible. That everything surrounding us, from the walls, the stones, to the people could be traced back and that was our tangibility. That we were still there. I HAVE NEVER IN MY ENTIRE LIFE FELT SO CONNECTED TO JERUSALEM AS A PLACE AND THE JEWISH PEOPLE AS I DID IN THAT EXACT INSTANT. It was so fantastic but even when I told my sister she said great and proceeded to ask me about my BOY situation. Which is non existent but i love making my daddy nervous about it. Shabbas was nice...I slept through everything and ended up staying on Base. Tomorrow is Erev Yom Kippur which means a lovely day of fasting and cranky teenage friends. I'll update when I can!!! LOVE YOU GUYS! Keep it Sassy Miriam
