One of the important early chapters was living in Jerusalem for a year and studying Jewish studies.
That period deserves more than a passing mention because it changed the texture of the larger story. It was not just another school experience. It was a lived chapter in a different place, with a different rhythm, and a different set of questions in the air.
It belongs here as part of that in-between period after high school, but also as one of the clearest examples of place shaping identity rather than just sitting in the background.
