Over the past few weeks, I have been frantically getting ready for Israel. In the midst of finding luggage, clothes, and random accessories needed for the trip, I have FINALLY found out that I have been placed at the Cincinnati campus of HUC when I return to the states. Cincinnati is the historic center of Reform Judaism where Rabbi Isaac Mayer Wise first established the Union of Reform Judaism in 1873, a huge reason why I have been wanted to attend this campus. When I went for my interview, I was welcomed by the students, enjoyed the small community, and felt very comfortable in such a wonderful environment. Leading scholars and rabbis whose books I have been using as guides in my studies teach in Cincinnati, and this campus is the heart of the movement's progressive decisions in contemporary issues. I'm thrilled to be able to attend the campus, and for the first time in my life I will experience what winter really is like! When I was in Cincinnati in March it was in the 3o's and I was freezing, but I am quite aware that it definitely gets colder!
I have only 10 days until I begin my journey, and the excitement and nervousness continues to grow!
I'll speak to all of you soon,
PJ
