Wow! Very brave indeed. Like Abraham at 75(?). But he took an entire entourage with him & Sarah. Don’t know the Hebrew for what we want to express. So here goes: best wishes, travel safely. May you find peace & fulfillment at every turn. Much love Sharon & Jack
Thanks. It feels right. I think you might mean b'hatzlacha (בהצלחה)ת "success" or "luck," also implying overcoming challenges through perseverance. Love to you and Sharon. (And please forgive my failure to respond to your last few notes.)
I’m excited for you - especially that your loved ones think of it as a “brave” choice over any other type of choice some may consider it. My husband and I are getting to embark on a similar nomadic year and super excited about it. I look forward to reading about your nomadic and growth experiences. Enjoy every moment!
Alden, I honestly don't think I could do what you've done. It's not just the rabbinic school, which I applaud heartily. It's the giving up of a permanent address someplace. And remember, There is always an extra bedroom here in Northbrook. Safe travels my friend.
Awesome - I’ll be in Fairbanks 7/27-29 with a wonderful Ayelet (Jewish tour company) cruise to Alaska - ending up at Denali, then Fairbanks. Love to learn a bit about Jewish life there. Might you be available a bit?
Mazal Tov on being so brave to take the next steps that you know are the right ones for you…even if it is hard and others might disapprove. Staying true to who you are what you need, to follow your own path is really important at this time in your life!

Very exciting! So freeing to let go of stuff and see what calls you. Although it seems like you have a very nice agenda for now. Happy trails!
Thanks. Lots to look forward to.
Be the journey, Alden. Safe travels.
Amen. And thanks.

Alden, as we texted earlier, I’ll be in Fairbanks late July. Will you be there then?
