The First few Days of my Experience

A view of Jerusalem from the Kibbutz.

Hello! It's me... Elyssa Alfi. I know, you probably thought I was Adele but I am not. Anyway, welcome to my blog while I am in Israel. I will most likely be writing about topics I will be discussing in my Judaic Studies class and I will update you all on my life and experiences here in Israel. I am currently living in Tzuba, Israel which is a beautiful place with an amazing view of Israel's landscape. When I arrived in Israel, it wasn't a major  culture shock for me, surprisingly. 

Tzuba's transition from sunset to night.

Yes the money is different and how the people act, dress and live their lives is completely different from America, but is expected based off of what I already know and Israel's history. You may think of the history of the state of Israel, but what I mean is the history of the people inhabited in Israel. History is definitely a tricky and biased thing to understand and comprehend. There are different stories of the same events based off of who is writing it. Through my blog I will write about my history that I will make here in Israel.
