how many shekels?

well, i'm coming down to the last few weeks here and unfortunately, it's pretty tight!
if you take a look at the fundraising meter on the sidebar on the right, you'll see that i'm still short of my goal, which was a very conservative estimate.
like any other trip, there have been unexpected expenses, and as you may know, the dollar's not doing so well, so i'm getting fewer shekels to the dollar. meanwhile, the apartment stuff in philly adds another hurdle!

but i've been quite amazed at the generousity of you - family, friends, and even strangers - in helping me get here. i couldn't have done it without you! whether you're a new reader or have given already consider a donation to help get me through these last weeks without significant debt when i get back to the states. thanks!
