oops I forgot.. 3/6

So clearly you can tell the days here are jam packed and I totally forgot to tell you. I was sent this article by Debbie before i came because she thought it would be interesting and it is relevant because it is about poland:

well, I actually met this man and got to ask him questions. He came to our shabbat dinner and actually is a butcher in Poland so he brought us dinner. His story is very interesting but he sort of made light about the whole thing and I tried asking him how his beliefs could change so quickly and his answer was that he dealt with it a long time ago and has embraced judaism. Fun fact that i dont think the article mentions: his wife was a skin head too.

So strange. Like i said, it is a different world here and I am constantly reminded just how far I am from home.

ok must go to bed. We have a 645 wake up call tomorrow and I havnt been up that early since high school.

xoxo,
Hope
