so that was fast...

Today is my last day of class for this quarter - whoa.
One course was on the Israeli/Palestinian conflict - mainly from a narrative or historical perspecitve.
The other was an International Human Rights Law course, with specific focus on Israeli case law.
We've had class every day for the last two weeks, from 9:30am - 4pm (one class in the morning, the other in the afternoon).. so its been jam packed. I have learned SO much in such a short time, but I still have so many questions!

That went by in a blur...

My internship starts on Sunday, but there has been a change of plans...
First I supposed to be with Bat Shalom, a women's peace-building organization (which I was super exctied about), but due to financial problems and the fact that they just had to shut down their office and move to a new location... I was moved to the Jerusalem Rape Crisis Center... but then, in an effort to work with an organization more specifically focused on the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, I was moved to.................

Rabbis for Human Rights.

I have absolutely no idea what to expect, what I will be doing, or who I will be working with (well, I can take a wild guess..) But just the same, I am incredibly excited for the experience and can't wait to get started.

Can't wait until you make your first presentation at Burley High School: "I am an honorary Rabbi for Human Rights". Shalom. Salam ala ekom.
