I have to tell you something ...

ok guys,

today I am not going to reblog a fancy dress or some pictures of Berlin. 

I will use the Blogger - World to tell something personal (which I don`t like to do so much, but I will do it anyways because it will spread some Torah and that is always good :-))

So, like every Friday I have a long train ride to University. I have a small Sefer Torah that I always take with me to read the Parasha. As I was reading, I realized that it is my very favorite Parasha this week: SHELACH.  

Now you may ask: “hmmm, why is it her favorite one…?” I`ll tell you why, because its one of the very few Parashot I really can identify with. 

The permanent complaining about the Land of Israel never stops. Before I went to Israel for an internship last year (b”h), people (Jewish people) told me the most stupid things about Israel. Many said: “you will suffer there, its so hard to make a living, its so hot, the mentality of the people is so different, you will not find a place to live, ..” I am sure many of you heard those kind of things before. I tried to ignore all those lies because I have been there before and I knew that it is not true. 

When I went there I had the best time of my live. I learned so much. Not only about me but about other people, about my people, the history of Israel and a lot about G.d. I am still thinking about the time I spend there and the people I met. It was a life changing experience. 

Basically I just want you guys to know, that you should always listen to your heart and never listen to people who do not really love you but only want to give stupid advice to sound clever. 

May we all listen to our inner voice and especially to the voice of G.d. May our Emuna grow, so we can hear what he says.

SHABBAT SHALOM my beloved readers.

a Kippah in Berlin

Once a week I teach German to the two kids of the Chabad Rabbi here in Berlin. Since they have vacation now I thought I might take them to the library so they can choose some books to read to pracstise their German. As we are getting dressed it suddenly popped into my head that the young boy (7 years) is wearing a Kippah and that it might be dangerous to take them with the train to the library. It would be only 4 station to our destination but nevertheless I know this train line and they are lots of Arabs in it. All this came into my head and I started praying that nothing should happen.

We bought the tickets and jumped into the train. As we entered we suddenly got the attention of a few people. In Germany its pretty normal for people to star, Germans love to do that but the way some of them obviously stared at the boy and his Kippah was scary. One womans facial expression was as if a naked person would stand infront of her. She was disgusted.

All this made me think: Did Germany really change? Can the mentality of a nation change? The fact that I was afraid that something will happen and the fact that people stared, showed me that its “still” strange for Germans to see a young boy with a Kippah.

I personally believe that Germans will never ever get used to the fact that Jews are living here with them. I will never forget how a friend from Israel (that now lives in Berlin) once told me ” Germany is spiritually dead”. The Jewish People represent G.d. Maybe thats why they will never be happy to welcome a Jewish boy in the train. Because they dont know who just walked in. They may forgot that G.d runs the whole world…

A poem

I MISS YOU

I miss the warmth you gave me. I miss the light you bring in my heart.
I miss your smell, the noise. I miss the small things that brought me closer to you.
I miss walking on the street and being surrounded by you. I miss only being happy because I am with me.
I miss your people. I miss your music and the atmosphere.
I miss your words your trees the sea.
I never missed something so much in my life.
I yearn for the moment when I will know that I never gonna leave you again.
But I am always with you because you are always in my heart. I am waiting for the moment to be with you.

ISRAEL... I MISS YOU
