I think the sort of beauty of being an
immigrant in Israel is that on the one
hand you feel like it's home, right?
It's more home than anywhere you've ever
been, ironically. And at the same time
you're always witnessing society almost
from the outside. And the same goes for
America. On the one hand I feel really
comfortable. I come back. I just went to
Starbucks. Nothing smells better than
that, right? But I'm also seeing it
almost as an outsider watching in. On
the one hand I have a foot in both
worlds and on the other hand I'm not
really at home in either world. So I
think that experience maybe gives me
maybe a more like critical perspective.
Is it a hard perspective and do you
think other Olim relate to what you're
saying right now?
