All right so you may have (or have not) noticed that it has been sometime since I made a post here. This is mainly due to me not wanting to fail my core test and as a result I studied way too much for it. So any ways, I have decided to give you day by day logs of my past week, here we go….

Sunday, March 23- Today I learned about Jews moving to Israel after the Holocaust and how the British were a** holes to them.

Monday, March 24- Today went to the beach and we reenacted what Jews had to do to escape the British, it was really fun. (Also my school’s principal Mr. Fuller was here) After the beach I went to the Atlit detention camp, here is where Jews who were returning to their country that the British had caught were put. I also went to the really cool grottoes at Rosh Hanikra.

Tuesday, March 25- Today I went to the tank museum at Latrun, it was awesome. (Look at my facebook page for more pictures)

Wednesday, March 26- Today I went to class, however afterwards I went to a soccer football game! It was Israel VS. Chile, Israel won 1 to 0. It was really neat!

Thursday, March 27- Today I had normal class however I learned about Aubery’s Mother’s (Aubery is one of the core teachers, he is not my teacher) experience as a tourist stuck in Jerusalem during the siege. It was really interesting, and I got to see the journals from Aubery’s Mother that Aubery is using to help him write a book.

Friday, March 28- Today the clocks went 1 hour ahead and I was 1 hour later to class on a test day, however it was an easy test and I did fine on it in the end.

Shabbat, March 29- I was in Jerusalem, it was fun.

Sunday, March 30- I review for the core test for a good part of the day

Monday, March 31- I took my core test

Tuesday, April 1- We went to Tel Aviv and asked Israelis on the street what they thought about the political situation in Israel and how they thought Judaism related to Israel. Afterwards I wrote an essay on what Judaism is and how it relates to Israel for me.

Wednesday, April 2(today)- My most normal and calm day in the past week, I went to class and and had 2 dinners.
