Dead Sea Scrolls and Shopping [Wednesday, September 5, 2012]


Today was so cool! We went to the Israel Museum in Jerusalem and saw a huge model of how Jerusalem looked in 66 A.D. The above picture is of the Temple, Temple Mount and fortress in the model. We also saw some of the Dead Sea Scrolls and other artifacts which are housed there. I must admit, it was so exciting to see the scrolls that so many people talk about and that are from so long ago! After the museum, we headed over to a park and had pizza delivered. It was so amazing! They had Domino’s pizza with spicy pepperoni and another with feta cheese. It was so good (and non-kosher)!!!
After lunch, we headed over to a marketplace and shopped around for a couple hours before heading back to the Moshav to relax and eat dinner. The shopping was fun but unfortunately I was unable to find anything worth buying.
After dinner, it was library study time and thankfully I got a lot done! Tomorrow is a full day of classes, but I’m excited for the classes that I have! Having three classes is like a full load of homework right now, so it will be crazy when the fourth class starts. But, I’m also really excited to get that Jewish Thought and Culture started next week! Well today was so much fun! Going into Jerusalem just never gets old! I can’t believe that we just get to go into Jerusalem! Thankful for all the opportunities that are afforded us while we are here! Also it has been so much fun developing relationships with all the people in our group! They are such a blessing!  Hodu l’Adonai ki tov! [Give thanks to the Lord for He is good!]  :)
