I am organizing my spiritual journey in the Holy Land, looking for non touristic things to do.
I will spend a few days with my best friend of my last year in high school.
We haven't seen each other since our 19 years old. I can't wait to see her.
She is Sephardic, and we laughed a lot during classes.
We were always at the back of the classroom.
The teacher of maths liked me a lot, wishing that i will be an engineer. He disliked my friend a lot.
I used to chew gums a lot. Once, he asked me to resolve a maths problem on the blackboard.
He wanted me to toss my chewing-gum, i refused. He insisted a lot, i refused.
So the deal was : either i toss it, either i get out of the class.
What did i choose? :-)
I got out of the class.
My friend told me that he was stunned, and sat a few seconds on his chair. :-)
I had no shame. :-)
I forgot his name, but he was a very good teacher.
I offered to my friend to resolve a math problem, only to laugh.
She lives in Haifa.
Before, i will spend a few days in the kibbutz, and i will work a little.
I never did it, it should be great!
And i will meet up my first Jewish boyfriend that i haven't seen since we were 5 years old. :-)
First, i will spend a week in Yerushalayim. I will wonder in the streets like a bohemian, and probably be in dangerous areas not deliberately. And Mea Sharim! :-)
