Today we met with Rabbi Ellenson and he spoke to us. We then had a cross-cultural workshop with Alyne Bat Haim about adjusting to life in Israel and the many realities we will face.....to be continued after shabbat.....

We went home and got ready for Shabbat. Naamah did a program with us on Shabbat and then we were joined by the community for Shabbat services. Afterwards there was a special dinner for us on the patio. It was really nice. The best part of the evening was when all of us students got up and sang and danced after dinner. How wonderful to feel such spirit from my classmates! Hope it continues for the rest of the year
