Today is the beginning of the new zman (semester). There are many new students here who will add to the diversity. It is pretty neat to realize that I live with Americans, Canadians, Chileans, Brits, Aussies, and students from other countries as well. It's always interesting to learn about other people's cultures. But the most amazing thing is that all of these different people from such different backgrounds have come together to do the same thing. We are all working for the same goal despite our tremendous differences in upbringing. It is truly wonderful to hear people's stories and experiences.
In other news, this week promises to be one filled with electricity. From today's massive protest of the "Gay Parade" in Jerusalem to Thursday's possible Parade, Jerusalem is filled with uncertainty about what exactly could happen. Not only that, but we are also waiting to see what Israel will do with the new "Hamastan" and the "moderate" Fatah controlled West Bank. I guess the West has to pressure us into a 3-state solution now instead of just letting us be in our God-given home. You really have to stop for a minute to realize that the "moderate" Muslims living by us are ones who deny the Holocaust. This world is a crazy place.
