I have but a mere few days to wait until I leave for Yarchei Kallah. So much to think about, so many people and things that I cannot wait to see. Part of the reason why I want to go on Yarchei Kallah is black and white. I want to see my friends. I want to see my beloved advisors who accompanied me during TJJ. I want to have an awesome time in the big apple. A bigger reason why I want to go on Yarchei Kallah is absolutely not black and white. When I was at TJJ last summer, I grew as a person in so many ways. I became a more thoughtful person. I became a better person. I had motivation to find God. That is the bigger reason why I want to go on Yarchei Kallah. As a Jew, I always have space to grow. I will always have space to learn. Hopefully, this trip will fulfill those desires.
