Hello everyone! I am updating today because of the recent events in Israel. The past week had been hectic in some areas of Israel, but I was completely safe. Today, I was on a trip with my group in Jerusalem. We toured orthodox neighborhoods and went to the market place to do a scavenger hunt of foods, and get some good dinner. After that I went to Ben Yehuda Street, which is a popular place that International people tend to congregate at. I was with 2 friends from my program, and then went to meet up with people from the ambulance program as well. After dinner, we called to see when we were meeting with the rest of the people that was supposed to come, we were told to get away from the area because there had been a shooting not far from where we were. A few minutes later we were informed from our program to not be in the center of Jerusalem. Seeing as we were there, we called to see what to do, and our instructor told us to get indoors to a safe place. So, we went to a friends house, and made decisions on what to do next. I continued to get updates from the ambulance about the event, and finally we decided to get a taxi back to where we were staying. Yes, people did die from this attack and many were injured, however I want you all to know I am completely safe. It was a bit scary, and it all became more realistic, but I was glad to be with my friends during the event, and I am definitely safe. I promise to update if any more news is given to me. I love you all and miss you!

Okay, so you were scared? No, I was scared. You are my baby!!! Seriously, I am glad you are okay, but I am sorry you had to see something like that so close up and real. Just be careful and have your eyes and ears open. I love you up to the sky and down to the ground with all my heart.
I think you should come home. The situation is deteriorating, and as an American Jew you're a target, and your hosts cannot assure your safety
Love,

Sis, I know if you thought it was too dangerous you'd be on your way home. Stay safe and do your best to enjoy all the great things you are involved in there.
Love, Adam
