Would you believe me if I said that even before I
arrived at Mayanot, I felt I would be there for at least 4 years? Let me
qualify what I mean. I did not book an open ended ticket with the plan to fly
back 4 years later and I certainly did not tell my parents I was planning on
attending yeshiva for 4 years. Rather, I was open to such an idea and gave
myself the room to be flexible to the possibility.
I had just spent 4 years at the University of Miami,
which for those that don't know, is a place that caters to physical desires and
needs, in basically every way imaginable. I figured if I put myself through 4
years of that, I absolutely owed it to myself to immerse in a spiritual
environment, where I couldgive
myself at least 4 years for more holy and meaningful endeavors.
I knew that if I was to go out into the world and make
a real difference, I would need to work things out internally first, and build
an unbreakable foundation.Thank
