You dream and plan and plan. And then you get a call at 6am on Friday morning... The first Isralight Inward Bound student has arrived. Jesse Rutiz's flight landed at 4:30 am. Yesterday we met with the madrichim and started getting the dorms ready.
As we stood outside of the dorms on Chabad Street in the Old City, I new in the blink of an eye the summer would be behind us. How many unbelievable, out of this world moments lay between this moment and the one where I am locking the dorm up for the last time at the end of August. How many mindblowing Rabbi David Aaron classes, or transcendent niggunim, or sunset's on the Golan, or just moment of simple laughter at the joy of being a Jew in Jerusalem lay before us?
Personally for me this job is a return to one of the most beautiful elements of childhood. The endless summer with the shortening days of September a far off horizon. I have an entire summer ahead of walking the Land of Israel, and going deep deep inside the spiritual vastness and richness of our heritage.
I took a moment yesterday, and just reveled in that awareness.
