For a more upbeat conclusion to the weekend, Shoshi stayed in the States learning how to play Belle for her sr. high school show, while the parents and I took a Segway tour of the Peace Forest, overlooking the Old City, the surrounding valleys, the Dead Sea, Mt. Hebron, the Green Line, and a tour from Belgium. It was wild, and the videos I accumulated gave me a sense of reliving family videos of my childhood and scenes from a magical world where people float in the park.
Afterward, I visited the site where the oldest Hebrew Biblical text was found, the Priestly Blessing in an amulet, located in a collection of Tomb repositories from the 6th century BCE in the "shoulder of Hinnom". Next-door is the new Begin Heritage Center, which focuses on the life of the Prime Minister. I gave that a try, even though everything but the videos was in Hebrew, and the group consisted mostly of Israeli Soldiers.
On a final note, unless there are any surprises, you're now reading the blog of Muhlenberg's next President of Hillel, alongside Jason Steinberg.
you cocky jew. just flaunt the title you don't have yet.
