Then the Rosh Yeshiva decided he was going to yell at everyone at that time, so I was told I had to be there, but my permission to leave wasn't rescinded. Some choice. Thank G-d I left that insane place.100 Gatesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8554337268732390744.post-81570247873013502332009-12-07T09:23:23.242+02:002009-12-07T09:23:23.242+02:00Wow, so many comments!

Sara came and visited me at the base, which was close to Jerusalem, and that was fun. Not ideal, but at least we got to say hi.<br /><br />Anyway, I hope everyone's Thanksgiving was just as great as I remember them being!

My daughter had met and spoken with him, before...)<br /><br />They had lots of turkey, and cranberry sauce, too. I was amazed.<br />She also volunteered to help and participate in the organization.<br /><br />(btw, My daughter said she had been very impressed with Michael, a"h; he came across as a fine, wise young man. He was the one who advised her, if that was what she really wanted to do--to follow her dream and go into combat engineering--not be dissuaded by all the others who thought she was wrong.)Lady-Lighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04992305067771885711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8554337268732390744.post-85665139951875685732009-12-02T18:51:02.278+02:002009-12-02T18:51:02.278+02:00the army is the army-the world over.
