Israel Trip

Ok, it's been WAY too long since my last post, but in my defense I've spent the last month racking up frequent flier miles on a Prague-New York-Israel-New York-Prague trip marathon. For those of you who don't know, I had the amazing opportunity to go on an all-expense-paid Birthright trip to Israel in January (yes I'm a quarter jewish, and that's enough). It was a very eye opening experience in many ways, which I'm not going to go into right now, but to tide you over I've put together a short clip of the trip to give you a taste of my Israeli experience.




Note: The conflict in Gaza began just a couple of days before I left, however the tour I was on did a very good job (for better or worse) of keeping us away from the conflict area, to such an extent that we often heard more about the conflict from friends back home in the US than we did during our trip. This is the reason you don't see any reference to the conflict in the video, however I hope to share some of my experiences and insights in a later post.
