The Band's visit

Good evening A,

Great to hear from you again after all this time, how was your summer?

I’ve enjoyed reading your essay about exodus but I will get to that in a min.

Would like to start with a small update, since the last time I have written an entry, I have finished my studies in very good marks, I still must go through a small internship to receive my diplomas and that will be it.

Holiday season was really busy in here; I have been away a lot (thus the late response to your entry). Jewish new years was really enjoyable and relaxing, Yom Kippur was a time to think and to reflect about things, and now we are in the middle of Feast of Tabernacles holiday.

Now to the subject of your entry. It was really interesting to read the comparison you made between the history and Bob Marley’s song.
I remember studying about the Exodus ship at school and now I think of it and wonder how could the world be so blind, and when there is someone needing help everyone shut down maybe due to rules & birocracy .
On the other hand, Bob Marley’s song after listening to it and reading the lyrics, I can see how meaningful those words can reflect on the people journey, they simply want to go back to their land.

Do you think Marley was inspired by those events to write the song?

The picture I posted above is taken a new Israeli movie I watched yesterday, it is called “The Band’s Visit”, about an Egyptian police orchestra band who arrived to Israel to honor the opening of a new Arab cultural center. The band got lost on the way and arrived to a small deserted city in south of Israel and made friends with a woman and her neighborhood friends. The story evolves over a night time, and it is a heartfelt, sweet and funny story.

I am happy to write that i will be visiting London very soon, in December to be exact. I'll be visiting the city for a 5 days and i am very excited. It will be my first time in England and i don't know what to expect. Do you have any recommendation site seeing in London? i would love to read any suggestions.

Have you ever heard of a website called moblog? I have recently developed a hobby for taking random photos with my mobile phone and i started posting them there, there are not so much as i joined it only today but i'll keep it updated as often as possible.


That’s it from me for now, I do hope to hear from you soon

All The Best
Mici
