Welcome to the stories of Becca's summer in Israel! The Main Page serves as a traditional "blog," with stories and pictures from my adventures. Posts labeled as "Class Notes" are summaries of the things I'm learning at the Hebrew University. "Program Details" gives further explanation about the Study Abroad programs I am completing. Notes from my experiences with peace groups and observations of women's experiences will be provided on the "Field Notes" page. "The Yakhad" is the text of a paper I wrote about the Essene community made famous by the Dead Sea Scrolls. An essay on developmental issues in Israel will be written on the "Issues in Development" page. Hope you enjoy!
Becca, did you see/visit Ein Avdat? It's a spring...not very wide but quite wonderful non the less. I hadn't thought of it in YEARS but when you mentioned it it brought back a vivid memory of my late husband (14th generation Israeli) and I on one of our teaols (kind of a phonetic spelling -means trip or short trip or some such). Anyway, we had taken our dog, a chocolate lab with us and the doggy jumped into the stream. The banks were just about perfectly vertical and there was no way for the dog to climb out. I was in a state of panic but Yitzak (hubby) leaned WAY over and grabbed the dogs collar and heaved him onto dry land. I see it all in my head as I type. Life in Israel always offered adventures of one kind or another. I am loving your blog and look forward to it every day. Belinda
