Pithy comments about Israel are in short supply and I have maybe exhausted them over the course of the last few weeks, plus I’m still trying to sort through the serious stuff, and digest the whole experience, which offered up very little rest. The trip was intended to be largely non-controversial (unless one was thinking about it), awesome just to be outside, and very interesting. I met a lot of people with whom I have nothing in common, but I also feel like a sucker for making friends on the trip, just like the literature promised. They fed us constantly, by the way, making me totally tired of my usual staples – hummus and baby carrots. Thanks a lot, free trip to Israel. Oh and much of Israel looks a lot like Florida. Also, if you are interested in 70s-era prog rock in Hebrew, please see me. And, no I didn’t resolve any conflicts while I was there. Sorry!
Summer Anthem: It has to be this. Such energy! I sang it constantly over there, despite not ever being in slightest need of an umbrella (ella ella). I danced to it twice at a club in Tel Aviv (we were having a really authentic experience.) And I sang it atop a camel while my co-camel-rider danced. The camel loved it.
After nearly two weeks without access to the internet or a decent night’s sleep, I don’t have much to add to my corner, except that I’m glad to be back home, in Brooklyn and at HRF.
