An update, what a concept!

I write this now from my cell phone, sitting on an army base in the Negev.

Much has happened since the last update. I joined the Israeli Army on the 17th of December. Over the course of the following 3 months, I was in a “Course Ivrit”, which is pretty much what it sounds like – a course where you learn Ivrit (Hebrew). This past Tuesday, we finished and on Thursday I was sent here – a Nahal base in the Negev.

The problem is: I don’t want to be here. After considering many things, I have decided to be non-combat, in a rabbinical unit; but it’s not so easy.

I’m running short on time, so that’s all for now, but I plan to post again soon.
