I have heard about the mystical quality of Jerusalem before...and I am quite intrigued now. I have decided I will visit before I die. Or maybe after...who knows :P
Come home Leah Hey Leah,
We're all concerned about you here at IIS and Dean asked me to forward this to you. So here it is...
"Please send this link to Leah so she can register online with the Embassy over there.
https://travelregistration.state.gov/ibrs/
Other information for her is:
The State Department urges American citizens to remain vigilant while traveling anywhere in Jerusalem, especially within the commercial and downtown areas of West Jerusalem. Israeli security services report that they continue to receive information of planned terrorist attacks in and around Jerusalem. In addition, American citizens should stay away from demonstrations and generally avoid crowded public places, such as restaurants and cafes, shopping and market areas and malls, pedestrian zones, public transportation of all kinds, including buses and trains and their respective stations/terminals, and the areas around them. Spontaneous or planned protests within the Old City are possible, especially after Friday prayers. Some of these protests have led to violent clashes.
U.S. government personnel are prohibited from using all public transportation. The Old City of Jerusalem is off-limits to them after dark during the entire week and between the hours of 11:00 A.M. and 2:00 P.M. on Fridays. U.S. government employees are also forbidden from patronizing discos and nightclubs.
Any American Citizen who intends to travel to Israel, Jerusalem, the West Bank or the Gaza Strip in spite of this and prior warnings should carefully review the Consular Information Sheet for Israel, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. That reference describes other potential dangers and difficulties and offers detailed security recommendations. Palestinian-Americans face many additional obstacles and regulations that are described in that document.
Americans who remain in Israel, Jerusalem, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip are strongly encouraged to register with the Consular Section of the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv or the Consular Section of U.S. Consulate General in Jerusalem through the State Department's travel registration website, https://travelregistration.state.gov. U.S. citizens who require emergency services may telephone the Consulate General in Jerusalem at (972) (2) 622-7250 or the Embassy in Tel Aviv at (972) (3) 519-7355.

SOS What to do when your in trouble in Northern Israel (note: will never fail)
1.) Stop, access the situation, and stay calm.
2.) In a monotonous tone (maybe even condescending when appropriate) say, "Do you know who I am? I am KIEZER SOUZE!!!" (enunciate thoe last two words like you're a pyscopath")
3.) If this fails to work (will only happen if they aren't Kevin Spacey fans) pee on yourself and when they become distracted by your crotch kick them in the groin repeatedly until they fall over. Then scream "KIEZER SOUZE!" and run.
4.) Never return to said area. Ever. When they find out you were impersonating a movie produced by Paramount they are going to be pissed, plus by then their groins might have healed and they are going to be wanting to head butt you in the ovaries, so stay clear.
Stay safe and keep up those kick excercises ;)
kepp your head down :) Hi Leahpi
We havnt seen each other for a few years. i am your uncle Bruces cousin and your Grandma's twins sister was my mother.
Luckily, only Iran and Syria are supporting the Hezbollah...even Saudi Arabia has come out against them...however the longer this lasts the more likely some greater involvement..
Be Careful and Hi to your mom for me....let me know what you see there, I am really interested in this

Hey Leah,
I'm glad you let us know where you are in respect to all of this violence. You know how I am - I don't follow the news very well. But now that I have a friend over there I am much more interested in what is going on. I am making it a point to now try and understand what is going on in Isreal so that I will be a little more confident that you are ok over there. It's really weird now... all of this seriously catches my attention now (and for me - trust me - it's very weird) Anyway... keep safe and keep us informed as I know you will! :) Love ya!
hey there Hi Leah! I am so glad you are doing a blog! It is a great way to keep us all informed. It sounds like you are having a great time :) miss you
work that thang Don't get arrested--that would suck. Especially that part where you get incarcerated and then eventually deported.
FYI--I don't believe that is your cousin. She looks more like she is related to me than you and I think I would know if there was some hot hispanic cousin of mine living in Israel.
PS Kaya looks like you are about to eat him in that picture. Be nicer to the dog please--just because he is man's best friend doesn't mean you have to hate him you know
