Second Semester in Israel
Donation protected
Around May of last year, my parents allowed me to go to Israel for a semester to learn in yeshiva. This was something I have been bugging them about for almost a year. Once my parents gave me the OK, I was ecstatic! I knew it would be a great experience and a great opportunity to grow and I was very grateful for that. Still on a high from the great news, i knew I had to come up with a way to raise the money I needed. With only a short amount of time between then and my flight to Israel, and with a lot of hard work, I managed to pool together some cash that I had earned, along with the generous donations of others. Once I got to Israel, I realized that the original yeshiva I started out in would not be the best environment for me to achieve the growth that I aimed for. I switch to a place that better fit me (Yeshivat Sha'aei Mevaseret Zion) and started working towards achieving my goals. As some of you may know, growth is something that does not happen over night and is something that takes time, dedication, and hard work. Thank G-d I have had a pretty successful semester and forged great relationships with my fellow students and my Rabbis.
As I approach the end of this semester I am granted once again the amazing opportunity to stay and learn in Israel for another semester. I hope to not only continue learning a subject that interests me, but also grow and develop my foundation for the future. Unfortunately the money that was raised previously was enough for one semester only and in order to remain here for the next semester I am faced again with the difficult task of raising and collecting money. The Yeshiva has already been extremely kind and was able to help me out in whatever way they can. Just like last time I am also working during my free time to try to earn money to contribute to the cause. A friend and I started selling waffles at our yeshiva, and I will be selling a few valuable items in order to do my part but I am still a little short. If anyone is able to help me out with the tuition for this next semester at Mevaseret Zion it would be greatly appreciated.
