When I usually come to the airport, it’s bustling and full of people waiting to discover our history, go on an adventure and eat delicious food. When I usually come to the airport, I meet a bunch of other colleagues who are also waiting to bring their clients on a once in a lifetime journey.
This time is different.
This time I’m almost alone, not sure how I became so lucky to work for a couple days in such a terrifying time. This time, we’ll be going on a journey to try to help, to try to understand, to try to process.
I’m nervous and I’m humbled. All of us just want to help in some way, and finally now there is something that I know how to do, and hopefully I can be of some support to my country and my people.
So, like many other journeys, it begins with the airport, but this time when we get on the bus, it’s a whole new Israel we’ll be seeing.
