Time for Tzedakah

Alexa and Jacob collecting rocks.

This morning we did our Tzedakah projects. My group (led by Noa and Lior) went down to the vineyard on Kibbutz Tzuba. We learned that we would be moving rocks from the side so trucks and other machines could get down the rows.

 Noa talked to us about how special this experience was for many reasons. Vineyards produce grapes and grapes are just one of the 7 native species of Israel so the fact that we get to help with the growth of grapes was special. The rocks were heavy and we accomplished about nine rows. 

Lior is so funny and calls me "Alexa Chandler Bing." He also really enjoys singing I noticed. Lior finished his army one and a half years ago so he carries a gun. 

Next we started school. Classes are 50 minutes and are extremely small. Its nice to be in small school situation, I really enjoy it. I also have 5^th and 6^th period off so I relaxed and did a workout which was nice. After dinner, we split into our groups and did some bonding and team building activities and wrote letters to ourselves that we will read at the end of the program. Then we all got to chill out and sleep J
