Departure Breifing

I just had a delightful and enlightening conversation with Rafi Rone, the Deputy Director at the Baltimore Jewish Council(see link). He gave me some interesting insights on places, sights, and sounds we will see and hear on our trip to the Holy Land. Rafi gave me some brochures and maps to use on the trip and so St. Paul's to keep track of me. I believe it is always good to get as many perspectives as you can in order to gain a better understanding of the big picture. I truly appreciate Rafi taking the time to speak with me sharing his perspectives. I am thankful for the materials he gave me that will be beneficial along the journey as well as retelling the story of our experiences when we return. I look forward to eating a few shawarmas in Jerusalem so I can compare them to ones I had in Riyadh :-).
