It is hard to believe that many of you will be going home in just a few weeks. Last night I attended a Barnard Alumni Event with over 30 young women, who deferred their admission to Barnard to spend the year in Israel. Dean Denburg, Dean of Barnard reported that 7% of the incoming Barnard class has spent the year in Israel-astounding! And how welcoming the Dean is of these young women, to the point of traveling to Israel to meet with each of them and help ease their transition.
And that is what closure is about-Looking Back and Moving Forward. This is time for you to reflect upon your year in Israel. It is a time to think about what you gained from your year in Israel. What will you be able to carry with you during the coming year. Some of you will be attending secular colleges and won't have the opportunity to study Torah so many hours each day. This is the time to think about what you can work into your schedule-even if its 5 minutes!
Daniella and I would love to hear about some of your reflections of your year and what you plan to take with you as you move ahead.
Behatzlacha!
