The bartender, the cashi...

http://nadinegoestoisrael.blogspot.com/2008/03/lost-in-translation-part-1.html
Blogging I Didn't Do In Israel. Thursday, March 13, 2008. Lost in Translation, Part 1. We are two thirds of the way finished with Ulpan (Hebrew language classes) before we start our internships. But in Ulpan, I witnessed the French kids translating all the Hebrew words into French, translating our instructors answers into French and it made me realize that English doesn't come naturally for them. I was sitting next to Axel one day and he had a sheet with the Hebrew words for fruits and vegetables and...

http://nadinegoestoisrael.blogspot.com/2008/05/one-year-anniversary.html
Blogging I Didn't Do In Israel. Monday, May 19, 2008. Today (May 19) marks the one year anniversary of the proudest moment of my life. How do I commemorate (celebrate? Truthfully, I'm not entirely sure it is something to celebrate. I feel very distant from the person I was a year ago today when I delivered my first public address at the Baccalaureate Ceremony for Commencement 2007. Or the several years after? And at one point should one cease to celebrate/commemorate the event? Overall party, party, part...

http://nadinegoestoisrael.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Blogging I Didn't Do In Israel. Saturday, May 24, 2008. Think American girls are easy. Are obsessed with facebook. Call Way too much. Do not treat on dates. Cannot pronounce the name "Nadine".

Listen to really bad music (i.e. "Stash Stash" by Fatal Bazooka, although Fatal Bazooka's other songs are not bad). All the guys have girlfriends back in France, but no problem with cheating. Shomer Nagia Yeshiva Boys:.

Blogging I Didn't Do In Israel....: Israel = Home?
http://nadinegoestoisrael.blogspot.com/2008/03/israel-home.html
Blogging I Didn't Do In Israel. Wednesday, March 12, 2008. I always wonder about American Jews who visit Israel and call it "home" immediately. I can understand the incredible peoplehood connection. Politically, spiritually I believe Israel is the Jewish homeland. But on the personal level, whenever I go to Israel, I feel like I am in a foreign county, decidedly not. Home" is where one associates a sense of belo ng. Where a hero's welcome. Would be waiting for me. Where the crowds will cheer. Kidding asi...
