As I've been here for a couple of months now getting to know people here, I thought it's time people got to know me, too. Also, I'm a little sick and bored. So feel free to ask me stuff about myself (just keep it clean, please).
Fairly short overview of myself:
I'm 23.5. I've lived in Israel for most of my life, except from age 3.5 to 7 when we lived in the USA (I have citizenship, too), which is also how I know English.
I'm what's called in Israel a "Dati Leumi" which translates as "National Religious" or Zionist-leaning Orthodox. I'm Right-leaning in politics (I'd be conservative if I lived in the USA), so for example, the lesser of two evils to me would be Netanyahu and not Gantz (not that I particularly like either of them...).
I'm an Ashkenazi Jew with a pretty impressive family tree on my mom's side (in terms of famous rabbis). Also some Holocaust stories.
I'm currently a sixth-year Yeshiva student, thinking about a career either in Graphic Design or Archaeology.
I served in the IDF for a year and five months (the minimum for a Hesder student) in three different postions: A little over 7 months as a combat fighter in the Artillery corps (completing both Basic and Advanced Training), then I became what's known here as a "Mashak Dat" which roughly translates as "Assistant Chaplain/Rabbi" (not that I'm anywhere near to being a rabbi. Military standards are different...) (which is a non-combat position) in the same artillery division for a little over half a year. Finally, I moved to the Rabbinate corps command base and helped a bit with setting up their new military site.
I "saw action" once - we were called to fire artillery shells on one of the northern borders. At the last minute, regional command canceled the firing. Oh well.
Post-army, I became a kind of "army activist", working with an organization that works to remove destructive Leftist (often far-left, even) influences from the IDF. I do mostly behind-the-scenes work.
I like reading, writing, history, archaeology, drawing, graphic design, taking walks, hiking, eating (too much, unfortunately...).
I'm fluent in Hebrew and English, know a fair amount of Talmudic Aramaic and a little bit of Yiddish. Pig Latin, too.
I have a particular interest in Christianity for some reason, which is how I eventually found RF.
