We are in Jerusalem!

We just wanted to let you all know that we made it here safely. Jerusalem is full of people and is as beautiful as we remember - we can't believe it's been 9 years since we were here!

After arriving on Israir airlines early this morning, we traveled from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem by sheirut (shuttle). We then met up with our landlord whom we are renting from for the first couple of nights and got settled in our studio apartment located very close to Ben Yehuda and center of the city. We then walked around the city center to locate our ulpan and grab a falaful, and then we embarked on the long walk down to Pardes, where we will be studying starting in September. It's fun to finally see the school we have been planning to attend - and so far the faculty and staff have been friendly and helpful.

Needlesstosay, after 36 hours of traveling, we are exhausted and hopeful to catch up on sleep tonight! We did pick up our cell phones and hope to get them up and running soon. Otherwise, our main goal is to find an apartment for our year-long stay.

Thanks for everyone's good wishes and prayers - we are happy to be here!
