About 28 by 28 (or “My second aliyah”)

In January 2011 I will turn 27. I’ve made a list of 28 goals and things that I want to do during my 28th year before I turn 28 in January 2012. At the request of several friends I have decided to chronicle this experience in the form of this blog. Here I will provide updates on these goals and my various thoughts and insights related to them.

While I won’t finalize the list and make it official until closer to my birthday below Below is the tentative official list. Some will be recurring and others one time, some will be easier to do than others and some will be revealed later on due to their sensitive nature.

Feel free to enjoy the blog, comment on it, and, even better, participate  in it!
