Glad to read those kind words LauraBeth, thank you.
I found the rest of the lessons of S.N Goenka and I will try to keep up in my own pace, I bought a pillow for meditating and I will take it more seriously than I did before Vipassana.
I actually live nearby, just 30 km from Sderot, in Quriat Gat, and also study in Ashkelon which is also very close.
