Picture from outside my pad
After a long struggle in the U.S. to find a place to live here, I was relieved to finally find a 2 and a half bedroom apartment about a 7 minute walk from HUC! My roommate, Eliana, is from L.A. and will be moving here at the end of August to go to Conservative Yeshiva which is also close by. I’m looking forward to meeting her soon. Until then, I’m living by myself. It’s a great place and completely furnished. When I say furnished, I mean more than just furniture. There are towels, fans, blankets, dishes, of course mezuzot and menorot..etc. The tenants before me were HUC students and they left behind things like shampoo, conditioner and school supplies. All of these things have made my move here much easier. Now don’t get me wrong- this place has its issues (like the layer of sand that is still covering most things in the kitchen or how the TV will not turn on), but all in all I feel very fortunate. I have huge windows in my room that let in a highly desired breeze in the evening.

ah I miss that apartment! and about the sand...unfortunately, it comes with the territory of living in Israel. I still find sand in some of my stuff...
