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!] :)
