30 Objectives

Since my travels to Israel are in essence a mixture of professional and leisure-conscious goals, I figure it's fitting that my list of objectives is itself a melange of purposeful/purposeless endeavors. Presented here, in no particular order whatsoever and a healthy dose of jest, are 30 things I hope to accomplish while in Israel. Composed hastily with the help of my roommatebro Dan and my regular bro Ben.
