Zweiter Projektbericht aus einem Jahr Freiwilligendienst mit ASF in Israel Feldbuschwende 26 Beit Jenny Breuer Moshe Dayan Center Chaim Levanon 55 6997801 Tel Aviv-Jafo Da bin ich wieder. Oder besser gesagt: Da bin ich immer noch. Etwa ein halbes Jahr nachdem ich meinen ersten Projektbericht verschickt habe, melde ich mich wieder zu Wort. Obwohl wir Freiwilligen noch mehr als einen Monat im Land bleiben, fühlt sich dieser Projektbericht schon wie der erste Schritt zu einem Abschied an, den ich alles andere als herbei wünsche. Irgendwie habe ich kurz nicht auf die Uhr geschaut und schon sind zehn Monate vergangen. Ich kann es gar nicht fassen, wenn ich das Datum so vor mir sehe. Mein Gefühl sagt mir, ich sei erst seit etwa zwei Wochen im Land, nur meine Erinnerungen bestätigen mir, dass schon viel passiert ist und ich zahlreiche Erfahrungen gemacht habe. Mit einer leichten Melancholie beim Gedanken an das Ende, die bedeutet, wie tief ich schon Wurzeln in diesem Ort geschlagen habe, möchte ich von meinen Erfahrungen erzählen. Die Arbeit (oder so) In der zweiten Hälfte meines Freiwilligendienstes in Tel Aviv haben sich wie erhofft die Beziehungen zu den Bewohner im Beit Jenny Breuer intensiviert. Ich kann nicht sagen, wer sich da eigentlich um wen kümmert, weil die Arbeit mich so sehr bereichert und erfüllt, dass ich es gar nicht so sehr als Arbeit begreifen kann. Stattdessen fühle ich mich wie ein Enkelkind, das jeden Tag eine Honigdusche abbekommt. Meine Omis haben das Bedürfnis, mich bei jeder Gelegenheit zu herzen und zu umsorgen, da will ich ihnen im Sinne der Nächstenliebe natürlich nicht im Wege stehen und lasse selbstlos den Honig auf mich regnen. Es ist nicht zu unterschätzen, dass ich es täglich mit einer ganz besonders hartnäckigen Art der Großmutter zu tun habe, nämlich der Yiddishen Mame. Man sollte meinen, bei einer Enkelanzahl von bis zu zwanzig sollte die Aufmerksamkeit der Damen ausgelastet sein. Falsch gedacht! Ist gerade kein Enkel anwesend, wird eine nichtsahnende Freiwillige Wasser auf ihren Mühlen. Vor penetranten Modetipps, Ernährungsvorschlägen und natürlich den guten alten Verkupplungsversuchen ist kein Entkommen. Gibt es Chaos in Ihrem Leben, fühlen Sie Sich schwach und antriebslos? Nicht aufgeben, die Yiddishe Mame hat immer Tipps auf Lager, das Schlamassel im Nu gelöst und nebenbei fünfzehn Kippas und sechs Babydecken für die ganze Mischpoke gehäkelt. Doch das ist nicht alles. Die Vibes der Yiddishen Mame durchströmen das ganze Haus und haben schon längst meinen Chef in ihrer Gewalt, denn es wäre eine dramatische Fehlannahme, den Charakterzug der Mame am Geschlecht festmachen zu wollen. „Wenn du bleiben willst, kein Problem! Sag uns Bescheid, und wir machen uns sofort auf die Suche nach einen netten Mann für dich!" Die Ladies in der Ecke, die diesen Kommentar mitgehört hatten, nickten eifrig. Da mein Hebräisch dank Sprachkurs und hingebungsvollen israelischen Großeltern, die mir mit Geduld jedes Wort erklären, schnell besser geworden ist, kann ich mittlerweile auch gut etwas kompliziertere Gespräche führen, wie zum Beispiel über das Judentum, ein unerschöpfliches Thema in einem religiösen Altenheim. Es freut mich immer sehr, wenn ich M. besuchen komme, er dann eifrig auf die Uhr guckt, um zu sehen, wie viel Zeit wir haben und mich fragt, wo wir denn letztes Mal stehen geblieben seien. Beim Messias? Gut. Mach es dir bequem,
