first visit to the city

After breakfast I went out to exchange some Euros to Shekel and to send a package someone gave me in the mail. On the way I passed throw the Mamila mall and now I know what everyone is talking about when they say Mamila. I didn't feel like my knowledge of Jerusalem, my city of birth, was complete without this. The weather outside was very hot (there is a heatwave here in Israel right now) and I am desperately in need of a day sleep, but we are having our Opening Circle with the Pardes Year program and I am meeting all the people I will be learning Torah with this year!

Here are some impressions of my visit to the city.

That is a random beautiful street on the way to the post office:


That's a panorama of the central post office:


In the Mamila mall there were beautiful art sculptures but sadly I didn't manage to make pictures as I was in a little hurry. 

Also today I learned that taking the bus in Jerusalem isn't necessarily the fastest option. Thus, I am still looking for a best way for me to get around the city.

Parashat Devarim 5784

In unserer Parascha, Parashat Devarim, beginnt Moses mit seiner letzten Ansprache an das Volk Israel. Das Volk hat zu dem Zeitpunkt ganze 40 Jahre in der Wüste verbracht. Währenddessen ist die Generation des Exodus aus Ägypten gestorben und eine neue Generation ist in der Wüste als freie Menschen aufgewachsen. Gleich in unserer Parascha erklärt Moses der neuen Generation auch, warum das Volk 40 Jahre in der Wüste verbringen musste: Kurz vor der Ankunft im Land Israel entsandte Moses 12 Kundschafter in das Land, um von der Beschaffenheit und den Bewohnern des Landes zu berichten. 10 der Kundschafter kehrten mit sehr schlechten Nachrichten über das Land zurück. Das Volk glaubte diesen Kundschaftern und beklagte sein Leid, so ein schreckliches Land als Erbe zu bekommen. Daraufhin bestrafte Gott das Volk mit 40 Jahren Wanderung in der Wüste und dem Ableben der Generation der Ungläubigen, die dem Versprechen Gottes nicht glauben wollten, dass das Land ein gutes Land ist, wo Milch und Honig ...

10 days of Tshuva and Yom Kippur 5781

Dear friends and readers, I have decided to diverge for this post (and maybe further posts also) from relating to you my experiece of my first months on Jerusalem to sharing some of the Torah I am learning here in the Holy City, also to be fair to the title of this blog that I have chosen. The topic of the last days has been Tshuva. Many of you may have already learned what this concept of Tshuva is and means, and why we are focusing on this so much during this time of year.

Repentence means "feel or express sincere regret or remorse about one's wrongdoing or sin", but this is not what Tshuva is primarily about. Tshuva means return. Return to what? you may ask, and rightfully so. The most prev...
