Dear Readers,
A few months ago I was informed of a very good school that could provide me with a very good opportunity.
As some of you may know, I am Jewish, although I haven’t been raised in a very observant family. I’m on a mission to learn more about Judaism, and be in touch with my culture, so I’m doing what I can to learn.
This school that I learned about is a Jewish studies school, located in Israel, and it’s known to be the best in the country. It’s the best at what it does.
It’s not designed for people that have always been religous, and want to learn more. This school is designed for people like me, that have one foot in, and have made this decision to learn as much as they can.
The one thing about this school, something that I can’t say for all other schools, is that they’re strictly against all kinds of holy-holy brainwashing. This school takes 25 people a year, many of whom American kids that attend ivy league schools such as Harvard, and MIT.
The way that I was even considered for this school is by conveniently meeting several powerful and influencial people. These people believe in me, and see that I’m on a mission in life. They’re enrolled into the fact that I operate with the greatest good of all in mind.
They’ve seen this website, which has been a good show-case, or portfolio, of how I think and how I am as a person. They introduced me to the person in charge of this school, and it seems like his thoughts and mine really resonate, so he said he would make room for me, even in these late stages of the game.
The school’s name is Machon Shlomo, and classes start Wednesday September 3rd. Trying to arrange payments for the school is one thing, but I first need to make my way over to Israel.
I don’t have money for this. To be honest with you, my family does not support me. They don’t know why I have to go. I feel like it’s necessary for me, and my time to go is now. I just finished my Masters degree, and I have a year off until Dental School.
This is the year to make this happen. Many of the other students of this school come out to be Doctors, Lawyers, and very successful businessmen and professionals. I think this is the perfect fit for me, and you can call it luck, or coincidence, but the way everything came together to give me this year off, to allow me to meet the people that I met, and everything else that points me in this direction is amazing.
I need approximately $1,400 to get a plane ticket from New Jersey to Tel-Aviv. I don’t have too many options at this point, so I’m going to appeal to my readers, the people that I love, and have supported through my writing over the past year and a half.
