Writing From Yerushalayim

hey guys greetings from the holy land i know that im really late but ive been thinking abt it for a long time so no worries i haven't forgotten you; so i dont know how many of you are aware that i spent 28 hours in jfk on my trip home at the end of the sem . any whooooooooooose it appears as if i dont have such goodluck with jfk bcz this time i was waiting at the gate for five hours before we were finally given the privaledge to board the plane and soar the skies at neck breaking speeds to reach our beloved homeland. there was a major difference btwn the first wait and the second. the first wait was much worse and i was literally falling off my face from exhaustion but that is not why i suffered so much the first time around.

the first time i had no idea why i was waiting it seems purposeless the second time they informed us eventually why we were waiting, are you ready for the reason? let me give you a minute to prepare yourselves.. ....there i hope you had enough time here is the reason you've all been waiting for: the AC was broken and they were fixing it. now i cant tell you that after this we were all happy and settled they tried to appease us with food and water till it was time to go they gave us food vouchers , not like that is going to help us much but whatever: ( i didnt need one bcz after last time i had enough food to feed an army and more! jewish mothers gotta love'em) so i was laying it bed jet lag wondering what i should write abt this week something a\occured to me that a speaker once said to me a highschool. she was the oldest in her fam and two of her younger sisters were already married with kids whole she was still very much single.

but this is what she said to us and it was so amazing and showed such strength of character that i kinda stayed with me. she said that a lot of people ask her of she is angry/upset/ depressed that she is not yet married and while she admits that its not easy she understands one thing very clearly, if Hashem spoke to her and offered her the perfect husband but she would have to wait a couiple years would she would weather the wait rather settle for a mediocre husband.

now i dont know abt you but to me it was totally worth the five hour wait for the AC to be fixed rather than sit twleve hours in a plane filled with 400 people some with questionable hygene without the AC blowing very strongly! so i think this helps with any wait in our lives whether it is for a shidduch ( we should all find our bashert at the right time Amen!) a plane, a present anything that it maybe. we may not always knwo why we are waiting but we have to remember that Hashem sees the world in slightly better way than we do and if we have to wait for something than that is so that we will get it in the best way possible if it came eralier than it might be okay but it would not the perfect thing that it woud be had we waited. so as i wait at the bus stops ill be thinking of you and what to write next with all my love and all the kedusha i can send in an email for Yersuhalayim Ir Hakodesh
