Joseph goes to Poland

An hour ago, I said final good bye to Joseph, my Mishna chavruta and a very dear friend from last year. Tomorrow, he is leaving the country and continues with his group to Poland.
During the past three years of living abroad, I found meeting new people and making friends from different countries and cultures one of the most enriching part of the experience. The fact I always had to leave them when returning back home is, on the other hand, undoubtedly the biggest downside. Joseph is one of the people I met in Israel I will miss the most - we became very close friends and I value his friendship immensly. All the new rabbinical students in UJ - you are very lucky to have him :-)
