Hi Anthony,
We last spoke before I left for Israel.  You were going to lok at putting the data from the old computerson to a flash drive.  As far as my laoptop and themissing files, I have found everything I think.  I just have to unbury them so that they are easily accesible.
As we discussed earlier, There still are alerts and warnings popping up evrey 10 seconds pointing me to a Personal Antivirus [which I have to buy] with dire threats, while the regualr Symantec Endpoint Protection shows no problems.  Any suggestions?
thanks
hirsh

Biking in the North

The group had a great time biking up North. Here is a group shot before the ride, and a picture of Hirsh doing his famous stretching exercises - Tai Chinn!



Still More Updates...

The group was getting ready to head out for dinner and their New Year's celebration. Unfortunately, the bad weather has continued, and the plans for an evening cruise on the Kinneret had to be canceled. The boat owners also happen to own a restaurant at the dock, so arrangements were made for the group to have a nice dinner and party there. Hirsh did not seem to think the group minded too much, as everyone is pretty tired anyway.

To backtrack a little since my last update - the Yehuda Poliker concert was great! Friday brought a great lecture about Kabbalah that everyone enjoyed very much. They also had a tour of an older Sefardic synagogue. Those who had been there before were able to go look at some other sites, while those who wanted to, stayed on for a more detailed discussion about the synagogue. Friday evening was a fun-filled time with lots of singing. Hirsh described to scene as wonderful, and said that they livened up the dining room! The Oneg program included two Fellow-led learning sessio ns, followed by some enjoyable discussions.

Shabbat was a relaxing time with various synagogue options, and just some general free time. The afternoon had a learning session with Hirsh, and the evening was another lecture on Kabbalah. This lecture was by a local artist who spoke about Kabbalah and his work. I am told that a number of Fellows purchased some of his work!

Sunday started out up North at Misgav Am, where the discussion topic was safety on the Northern border. Afterwards the group went to Kiryat Shemona, where the group divided into two groups: one group spent their time cleaning out burned out bomb shelters (wearing masks for protection!) while the other scraped and painted bomb shelters. These experiences brought to life what we all have only read about.

So, aside from a few sniffles, and some rainy, cold weather, everyone is tired, but happy. The next week still holds some amazing adventures for our weary group.

More Updates from the Holy Land!

While in Tel Aviv, the group was busy trying to cross the street, navigating around a major puddle, while getting soaked! It seems that the group got slammed with a day or two of blustery winds and rain!

Tuesday was a great day of study at Pardes Institute, which was described as fantastic, on many levels. Tuesday night brought an evening of hysterical Karaoke. It was a late night with lots of fun and laughter!

On Wednesday, the group heard a speaker on the history of Zionism. After lunch, they were treated to some relaxation time in Tel Aviv at the Ramat-Aviv mall. There was also an International Photojournalism exhibit nearby, and about 20 of the Fellows were treated to the exhibit. Tonight they are headed back to the hotel for dinner, and then it's off to the Yehuda Poliker concert!

Mission Notes

The ATID Campus Fellowship has been in israel for a few days now, and here is the latest update from Monday, Dec. 25. They are learning a lot and are very happy, and everyone is in good health.

The group has just finished their first processing session; where they discussed their thoughts about the Mission, and what they have learned thus far. The overall response is that everyone is having a great time.

Some highlights of the past few days include the Ma'ale Yishai hike, where some Fellows hiked on the ridge, and the more adventurous ones hiked up to the peak! They also spent Friday evening having fun hanging out with 4 generations of an Israeli family. Shabbat brought the desert solo experience. Most Fellows seemed to enjoy this very much.

Sunday was an amazing seminar with Aryeh Ben David, who spoke for over 3 hours on spirituality. Hirsh said many Fellows described his presentation as "phenomenal." They said that he gave them a spiritual reality check, which many said was something they needed at this time in their lives. The important lesson was to always take care of yourself spiritually. They group was then treated to a surprise visit to a Dead Sea Spa! The day concluded with a quick visit to the Kotel.

Monday was another day of lectures, and learning about the development of the City of David. The group also had a tour of Hezekiah's water tunnels. Most of the group went through the tunnels and had a very fun time.

One of the things that came out of the group processing tonight was that Fellows said that this trip provided them with the opportunity to look at their own Judaism in an open environment. They felt that many trips say they do this, but this trip truly has for them.

Tomorrow brings a full day of learning; both through lectures and with other students.
