Jewish Education Went to afternoon hebrew school prior to Bar Mitzvah. I speak very little hebrew but am able to read and daven. I have been learning, on average, two to three nights per week since becoming Ba'al Teshuvah. Two of my staples are learning with Chaverusa at Philadelphia Yeshiva Wednesday nights and gemara shuir on Thursday night. Have been learning on Shabbos afternoon with a Chaverusa from a Sefer on Kohain Avodah which I was given while in Eretz Yisroel in the winter of 1995.
General Education College - Majored in Accounting.
Consider aliya? Arrived in Eretz Yisroel on 3/9/99. Am living on Yishuv Shavei Shomron for Klita & Ulpan. Anyone with Career-Networking ideas or info for me are welcomed to respond. Of course, I'm looking in my field -- Accounting and Financial Management but also for whatever is available that I can do with my extremely limited current knowlege of spoken Hebrew. A clerk in a religious book store, outreach office, regular book store, office supply house or store, computer store, yeshiva administration, etc, etc. Anything is open game as long as it doesn't require a sophistication with computer programming, fast typing ability or electrical or mechanical skill-- all of which I don't have.
Mother tongue English
"Dream" spouse I seek someone who is kind, sincere, caring, down-to-earth unmaterialistic, sensitive to others, PRO-ISRAEL(not benign, socialist-Zionist or sympathetic to a "palestinian entity")-- a Zo Artzeinu or the like type is ideal. She should enjoy laughing, learning, Divrei Torah, Shabbat Hospitality, Zemiros, etc. Also, she should enjoy exchanging stories about travels in Eretz Yisroel. PLEASE, NO SMOKERS!!!! She MUST be Chesed Oriented.
Hobbies The Internet, if that's a hobby. Actually, I have a number of definite uses for the net. I like movies -- humourous, suspenseful, spy & intrigue such as the James Bond (Sean Connery--is there any other Bond but???) series. Have always been a fan of the 4 major sports, although not as much as in younger days. I like comedy and impressions, do a few myself. My favorite Comedian is Rodney Dangerfield -- No Respect!!! Also, I love to sing -- whether its American Rock oldies, Nigunim or making up Musical Parodies such "Does Your Korban Pesach lose its flavor tied to the Bedpost over night??"(Does Your Chewing Gum lose its favor on the bedpost overnight??), "Video Queen"(Sweet Little 16), etc.
