Shabbat! Fiddler on the Roof! [Saturday, September 15, 2012]


Today was so great! We stayed on the Moshav and had Church with the congregation that meets here! It was really nice to go to another Church too! We had a wonderful service and learned about God’s peace and provision. After Church, they had jam at the back so we were able to take a small jar. The cool part is that earlier this week, we were given honey and now we have been given jam! It is super exciting! YUM!
Well after a little bit we were called down to IBEX Park for lunch and we had pizza! It was so yummy and it was fun to just hang out with friends! At lunch they had bananas and I was so excited because that is one of the things that I have been craving! It was soooo good!
After lunch I headed down to the library to get some studying done! It was actually the first time that I had studied on Shabbat because we are usually gone the whole day, so it was interesting to do work. After studying we went to dinner which happened to be later than expected because the caf did not want us in there at that time, but it was so good and we were stuffed afterward.
Then, one of our professors had invited us all over to his house for dessert and games so we walked a ways to his house and had a great time there and played a fun trivia game! Sadly, the other team won by one point but we were neck and neck the whole way!
When we got back to the Moshav, we went to the Miklat for Saturday Night Live and watched Fiddler on the Roof! I had so much fun singing along to the songs with my friends and having an amazing time! We only watched half the movie and tomorrow night we get to watch the second half! Also, tomorrow night starts Rosh Hashanah, so we get to have a BBQ and ring in the New Year! I’m so excited for our first Jewish Holiday and also to watch the second half of Fiddler which happens to be one of my all-time favorite movies! It is so exciting to watch it in Israel as well! I have been trying to read some of the Hebrew words in the movie, but failing. Well after that, we just hung out for a little while before heading to bed! Thankfully we have a free day tomorrow and then the holiday starts! Yay! And goodnight! =]
