So, as stated before, nothing too exciting happens on a day to day basis, so I'll just highlight some interesting debvelopments. Last weekend, all of Shalem was planning on going to Ein Gedi for th weekend in honor of two birthdays that weekend. And as I was picking up the tents from the Young Judea office, I unexpectedly recieved the second package my parents sent :) which is awesome. But anyways, we got the tentsand were all set up but people kept being noncommittal and dropping out, so in the end we weren't able to do it. So we had two tents and nowhere to use them. So we built one in our kitchen. And camped. It was so much fun, even though we didn'd get to see Ein Gedi which is a nature preserve with lots of wild animals right across the street from the Dead Sea.
Anywho, great weekend hanging out with friends and such. On Sunday night, Masa (fund for sending teens to Israel) hosted an Edan Reichel concert in Jerusalem that I went to. At first I was a little annoyed because we were told to escort VIP's to their seats and then we listened to a couple speeches and watched a few videos telling us all about how great Masa is and how it's great to send kids to Israel. But after that, it was great- the first time I heard most of their music, but I really enjoyed it. A few songs in, everyone started getting up and dancing, so me and Chana (who was sitting next to me) got in and it was a blast.
The siyyur this week was Sea Scouts, where first we wentdown t the Bat Yam beach and played some relay race- water based games, then went sea kayaking. I've gone sea kayaking with my Aunt ASliza in the Galapagos before, which was absolutely stunning, but this time it was toally different. Me and Barry were in a two person kayak, and we were a power team, the fastest and most efficient out there. Plus the weather was great for being on the beach, and the sea was beautiful. It was great.
Wednesday we had a great dating shiur from R. Yossela :) Then the girls (and whoever didn't wanna play b-ball) went to the Michal Negrin factory, where they make all her jewelery, which was interesting, but not exactly my style.
Thrusday I reall enjoyed Atara's class on Ruth, even though there were only 4 kids who showed up. She's really sweet and has invited us all to Shabbat at her house :)
This weekend's weather was ridiculous. It stormed Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Yikes. I mean thunder, lightning, and raining cats and dogs. Nothing you ever see in Israel, but it was really good for the water shortage. And it made me hgappy, cause now it's in the 60's, not the high 80's. Feels like fall.
Right after shabbat ended, I worked on lots of homework, since I have a midterm in Bible Babel tomorrow and had to do the take-home midterm for Godtalk ("let's talk about God"). Hoping I'll do well, but not worried at all ;)
Love to all <3
