Finally Friday came along! Well, we usually don't have school on Fridays, but this week had our first Jewish history exam in the morning. The exam took 3 hours and was not fun at all. After the exam we got a nice break to relax before Friday night Services. After services we had our activity which was all about Hebrew phrases and teaching us more Hebrew. I didn't feel like going to the party in the bomb shelter so I stayed in my room with some of my roommates.
Saturday morning I didn't wake up until 10:30. That is crazy late. I had some yogurt and granola before heading off to services. Around 4pm we had a group study session with Baruch in honor of Avi Schaefer.
We then headed off to Jerusalem for the official memorial service for Avi Schaefer. Avi's brother Noah is on EIE with us, and his brother Yoav came to talk during the study session. The service was very nice but extremely sad. Even though I didn't know Avi, the speeches and pictures did an amazing job at conveying what kind of person he was and how he truly impacted other peoples lives.
After the service we got back on the bus to head back to Tzuba. I had to finish some homework before going to bed.
Today was a regular day. School school school and more school. Oh wait and SAT prep tonight. We have a full next couple of days but I am looking forward to climbing Masada at the end of the week!
