I was conceived in Jerusalem. When my mother was pregnant with me, my father's professor said to her "your daughter is a Chatzy Sabra. (in Hebrew, Chatzy means half, and Sabra refers to Israelis who were born there)." He continued to say "make sure you tell her to come home." He's still a professor in Jerusalem, I should find him, yes? I should let him know that, although it took 24 years, I indeed made my way home.

I'm leaving in the morning, and I am feeling more happiness right now than I've ever felt in my life. I can't even imagine how I'm going to feel when I step off of that plane, with 300 other people who, as of tomorrow, will be making Israel their permanent homes.

If you will it, it is not a dream
To be a free people in our land
In the land of Zion and Jerusalem.
-- Theodore Herzl, 1902
