Thanksgiving Day came early

I have much to be thankful to Hashem for in my life, particularly most recently.
My aliyah-related activities have gone by quite easily.
I have opened a bank account with Bank Leumi, met with an aliyah advisor at the Ministry of Immigrant Absorption, payed for processing and joined the health clinic Meuhedet (Unified), signed up and am attending an Ulpan (intensive Hebrew class) at a nearby Israeli yeshiva, sent my necessary information in order to get started with my drafting process to the Israel Defense Forces through a Nefesh B'Nefesh contact, spoken with the Jewish Agency's program Babayit Beyachad (At Home Together) to get paired with an Israeli volunteer to help me acclimate, and most recently was accepted into the Masters Degree program in Urban and Regional Planning at the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology.
I have done this all while simultaneously learning Gemara in the mornings at my yeshiva (Yeshivat Darche Noam/David Shapell College of Jewish Studies) and davening three times a day (of course).
I thank God for continually protecting me when I travel using my bicycle throughout the city of Jerusalem as well as when I travel by foot to and from my apartment and my yeshiva.
My apartment, the food I eat at my yeshiva, and the learning and rabbis at my yeshiva are all supported by alumni and other donors to my yeshiva and I very thankful for them. At an even deeper level, I thank God for helping these people support my yeshiva because with God's continuous compassion for them, they are able to work to get the money that they donate to my yeshiva.
Also at a deep level, I thank my parents for everything that I am able to do. But more practically, I thank them for their moral and practical support and advise.
Learning Torah in my yeshiva, there is continuous training to look above oneself and at the root of things in order to have a better understanding of the world. Gemara is the source of current Jewish laws (halacha). Unlike the US Constitution that is the source of American laws, the Gemara is a set of books that contain in them debates among Judaism's ancient sages. It is written in Hebrew text in both Hebrew and Aramaic languages. Studying Gemara most usually involves the use of two or three dictionaries that help translate Hebrew and Aramaic words and concepts into English.
As the current hour is only getting later (11:43pm Jerusalem Time), I am keeping this blog short.
Until my next blog,
Satisfied to have finally composed my third blog,
