since we arrived and we are slowly finding a rhythm more in tune with the season. Summer is beautiful here, but we have been rather busy navigating the bureaucratic maze (schools for the children, health insurance, telephone and Internet services, ID cards etc.) though still finding time everyday for the beach or kibbutz swimming pool.
I have been in touch with Thabet Abu Rass from New Horizon, a new NGO and think tank working to promote coexistence in Israel and hope to meet him next month to hear more about their work.
On the whole it seems that there will be no shortage of work to do here- I keep being approached by friends asking when I'm planning on starting my acupuncture practice (everyone knows someone who needs treatment...)- the challenge will be to make sure I don't over commit myself. This is a sabbatical after all...
We have had our ups and downs already. Maya (11 years old) is missing her friends and cousins, often saying she wants to go home. All of us are gradually getting used to having much less personal space (moving from a spacious 5 bedroom house to a small 2 bedroom apartment) and the children are learning to cooperate and share more.
