1-17-09 Yeshiva is chill

Hey peeps an peepettes,

   Yeshiva has been pretty chill lately.  Kate's back in Israel which is nice!  We just had Shabbat with her educational director's family and the Schwartzmers (I hope I spelled that right).  I also got to go over after Shabbat and play with Tehila and help move a bookshelf!  And got cake!

   Right now I'm doing amazing in Yeshiva.  I've been keeping on top of my learning and I can see all the progress I've made.  At the same time I have a ticket for America on March 15 which is very soon.  I definitely feel the urge to go back.  I half wish I could come back for some time next year but at the same time I feel weird about it.  I often wonder whether I'll grow faster in NY or Israel.  There's so much to consider... Kate and her choices in each place, my citizenship issues, the Rabbis here vs. there, the environment and distractions here vs. there, healthcare, money, working, etc.   But we'll see.... no one freak out on me because of this btw!  haha

   I am reading Kate's mom's book which is awesome so far... I also linked to her blog which you should check out!  I'll try and leave something for when I finish!

   I would give more update but I want to read and watch movies and study etc etc so I'm gonna do that now!  If you want more info you gotta email me!

Love
Omri

1-6-09 JEWISH BABIES!

My cousin, Karen, is pregnant!  AMAZING!!!!  She's probably one of 4 people who read this but thats ok cuz its AWESOME!!!!

Congrats to Karen, and I wish everything goes extremely well :)

Just to give everyone an update.  Kate's deciding whether or not she's coming back to Israel but I think she's leaning more towards coming.  We're being extremely careful beyond most other people's standards and there is nothing to worry about.  I appreciate all the worries though.

I hope to write again soon but I gtg watch a movie :)

Hope all is well
Omri
