Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up (7/10/09) Tweet

Who needs World Swimming Championships when you have the Maccabiah Games to look forward to?  On another note, it is unfortunate, but Oranim has canceled its Winter program this year.  I went to Israel for my first time with Oranim and then went back a year later as a staff member.  I hope that whatever problems they are having (most likely monetary) get fixed in time for next year’s Summer program.  Right now, I am in the midst of Summer final exams and boxing up my room as I prepare to move into a new house for my last year of law school.  I can’t believe that I have one more year left before I close the 7-year chapter of my life that involved Gainesville, FL.  Time sure does fly.  I also can’t believe I’m 24-years-old.  I feel, look, and sometimes act, 18.  Ahh…here are some articles I missed over the past week:
