Why Josh Can't Be Left Alone

No, I didn't disappear and get a "real" life. I haven't turned my back on the blog world. For those that noticed, I just got back from a week and a half in Jerusalem. Yes, without access to anything more than basic email. I have so much to say, and I'm not sure how I will say it all, without wearing down your attention.

Without going off into too many tangents (ie, the numerous idealogical issues I considered on my trip), here is the quick update. I spent my time in Yeshiva, split between studying and socializing (hey, I'm honest). I am ready to make a siyum, I went out with some girls, and met some great guys. I have tons of pictures, and hopefully memories that sunk in.

I prayed at the Kotel for many people, including many blog friends as well. I used a simple formula - that each one should discover the role Gd has in mind for them, succeed in fulfilling it, and find happiness in their destiny.

And now I'm back. I don't know what that means, practically or emotionally. I'm back at home and back at work. I have tried to catch up on reading other blogs, although it's overwhelming. I will take things as they come, and try and keep as much of Jerusalem here- as much as I can, as long as I can. I'm not good at describing the intangible, but all I can say is the incredible emptiness I feel now is amazing. The vacuum of purpose is so overpowering, my yetzer hora is in paradise.

And so the struggle begins again.
