Can somebody....

זה סיפור על ארבעה אנשים שקראו להם: "כולם".
פעם אחת היה תפקיד מאד חשוב לעשות ובקשו מ"כולם" לעשותו, ל"כולם" היה ברור ש"מישהו" יעשה זאת, "כל אחד" יכול לעשות את זה, אבל "אף אחד" לא עשה זאת. "מישהו" כעס על כך כי זה התפקיד של "כולם". ל"כולם" היה הרושם ש"כל אחד" מסוגל לעשות זאת, אבל "אף אחד" לא ידע שזה לא יעשה על ידי "כולם" בסופו של דבר "מישהו" הואשם על ידי "כולם" ש"אף אחד" לא עשה את מה ש"כל אחד" היה יכול לעשות!!!

Wow its been a while. Its so annoying, i always mean to post but just things come in the way, whether its מורשת or just stuff, but then you have the days that i am bored out of my mind and the computers are unaccessable.... nice word...

you know it is vey hard to teach english. like not teach but tutor. For example...

Mike and Ron (play, plays) computer games.

Now for a kid in 6th grade who is learning this new language, for the past 2 yrs they have been telling him that plural is with an "s" at the end. now פיתום things change. so he answers that it shoulb plays because it is two people. and i tell him no, its play. why he askes.... אההההה donno. so what do i do, call my pop and he explains to me that for nouns an "s" at the end is plural but for a verb an "s" at the end is singular.
"s" בקיצור אני אומרת לו שלשם עצם ברבים ולפועל ביחיד יש בסוף
go figure!!!!

and only after a few תרגילים was i able to explain to them when you use is, are, and am. meaning... ex.

1. I_____ living in Israel (am, is, are)
2. We ____ going shopping. (am, is, are)
3. He ____ having fun. (am, is, are)

So I know the answers but only after a little was i able to explain that 'am' is when talking about 'I', and 'is' is when talking about singular someone else, and 'are' is plural someone else. I think it is a good explination. meaning

I am living in Israel.
We are going shopping.
He is having fun.

maybe I should become an english teacher. yah right. I like hate english... Its so hard!!!

SHERUT

So we got here on tuesday night, and set up out rooms. Wednesday we have some speechs and at about 300 we left to yerushalayim- it took us close to 2 hours to get there but finally we did. We had a tour in a neighborhood called nachlaot then went to eat in a taimani resturant, and then had a tour of the rova then went to the kotel. we got back to pardes chana at 2 am! but it was fun. the next day we got up and started to prepare things for the kids who were supposed to arrive at about 2ish. now, i dont exactly have a group. my job is... 9 o clock wake up and go to the 'merkaziyah chinuchit' its a room with tons of activity ideas, supplies, and air conditioning. I'm supposed to help out the other 'bnot sheirut' then at 130 there is lunch and then i have a break till 6, and 6 I go to a group of tchon girls. they are called the 'olot' even though they made aliyah 6 yrs ago, 2 before me. they are all ethiopian except one girl who is israel born from ethiopian parents. these girls love to learn, supposivly the biggest problem theat we will have with them is to convince them to stop learning and do something fun for a change.

the week was pretty much the same thing over and over. wtvr, its fun. this past shabbos i was here. most of the kids go home for shabbos every other shabbos, however some kids dont have a home to go home to, so they stay here. thats my job, to be with them on this shabbos. its weird cuz its supposed to be like there home. like we are not strict with them, and they could sleep late and hang out. but its not really there home because its not!

friday night i tucked in a little girl- she is 5 years old and has been here for i think half a year. she will be here for the rest of her life. i just started tearing. its so sad, this is her home. not house, home. cuz she doesnt have somewhere else to go. and because of the stupid rules in this country, she will probably not go to adoption meaning she will never know from a normal family.

really short....

Hey,
I know, I know, I havent written in a long time. You see that I have internet at the place where i work, but i dont have time to write. so now when tecnically i can go to lunch i am writing this...
Ill writesomething real some other time...

How do we have a right?!?

Wow, its been a crazy week. I went to my 'ceminerion' to learn stuff for sherut next year- in two days more like....

We were there for 9 days and had a packed schedule. And even all that I still don't feel ready. How is it possible to be ready for it? Im going to be with kids who aren't living at home because of all different reasons, neglect, abuse- physical, sexual, 'milolit' (words).

So these kids come to live at this orphanage (not really an orphanage, more like a children home). However every other shabbos they go home. now they are taken out of there homes cuz they cant live there normally, so why do they go home? Because we want them to have a connection with there parents. Yah that a great connection- to go home to an abusive home or a home at which you know there will be NO food in the fridge.

besides those kids there are also some kids who don't go home those shabbosim cuz there parents will maybe kill them during the 30 hours they are there.

now you may ask, if they don't even go home every other week then why are they in a children's home and not put up for adoption? See they are taken out of their homes and put in this children home because we want to give them a 'normal' life. Now I live a normal life and I do not think that living in a children's home is a normal life.

ok so to the point why aren't they put up for adoption? Because there are many complications to put a kid up for adoption. One law is that the father has to give permission for the kid to be put up. Now think about this. The kid is being put up for adoption because the everyother week that the other kids go home, they cant because their father isn't home, where is he? he is in jail. How come? Because he killed his wife/ their mother in front of the kids.
NOW, that you understand the story, who in there right mind would ask the father permission? Why does he have a right to have a say in his kids life?

another question, Sunday morning comes and your 'chanich' - lets call him david, comes back from a shapes at home, one of your other chanichim- shmuel, gets david annoyed. So david reacts and starts cursing shumel. So what is your reaction? "david, stop, that is not the proper way to talk".
now lets analyze this picture.
david has just come back from a shabbos at home at which when he annoyed his little sister, his father started cursing him. Cursing him with words that we have never even heard.
now, how do we have a right to tell him to stop cursing if no one is telling his father not to?

How do we have a right?!?

Should I really be continuing on with my life?

wow, what a day. I woke early to go to yerushalayim. i got my skirt which was stolen by the seamstress, long story dont ask. got whole wheat pita from the shuk. wow I'm going to miss that. Starting 2 weeks I'm probably not going to be there for a while.
wtvr boring day, cleaned the kitchen, packed my bag for a weeks worth of stuff.

well, Im not sure but while Im being bored out of my mind, Moshe is getting married. when is it again? yesturday? today? tomorrow? wtvr, its crazy that he's getting married. Well I hope he likes my present... the 108 pack of twizzlers. For Etana I got the ketchup, I thought that was apropriate for him. Gosh this is the first of 3 weddings I am missing cuz they are not taking place in the Holy Land. I can believe it.

So there is supposed to be a ceasefire, I hope. I love this contry and I love the Jewsih nation, but isnt there a better way to get back 2 kidnapped soldiers that kill over 150 other ppl. I know this probably would have happened anyway but still....

Sammy call already,... I want to go swimming.
(is it just me or its sick that I'm going swimming now and ppl are just returning to there ruined houses after not being there for over a month cuz of Hizballah- yimach shimam)

What an excuse...

that was weird... a safe trip. i guess that is a good excuse to call but still. gosh, i want to cry and laugh and smile and frown. i just wish life would start already. its like now i have nothing and tons to do. I'm bored but can occupy my self with many things. I want to start real life so i dont have time to think about things. the more time i have, the more i think, the more i regret things or do things I'll regret. I wish life was simple. no complications.
my head is hot and spinning. I need answers! I need an explanation! I hate guys!

Sammy, i just realized that im not just going to write about my boring life, ill write about other things too, so here is my second post for today, for this hour.
Have you ever had a friend that you were really close to, like really really, like spend almost every waking hour with, and then some how you drift away. like you have nothing to do with each other anymore. but you know that if you wanted if either of you made the effort, you can go back to being as good friends. but you just have no patience to...

"avodah zara" of today?

So I've been thinking, what is the purpose of goyim's lives? I mean they have no real goals in life. like why were they created? everyone says to serve us right? but thats only in the time of mashiach. now, its probably the 'avodah zara' of these days. like they get us to do somethings that really if you stop and think about it could be considered avodah zara. like for example, t.v.! no not indian hair sheitel. Its weird, ppl flip out over the indian business, but what about tv. its a thing that tons of ppl sont even think about as a problem. No so maybe it is not direct, like ppl dont burn themself for it or castrate themselves because of it. but ppl do devote there lives to it. ppl do waste tons and tons of money on it. and these are ppl who learn tons of torah. dont get me wrong, I love to watch movies, its really great not thinking of anything, getting fully entertained by some fast action film, or being freaked out by some scary movie that you so scared you cant move. or to cry over something bugging you while watching a mushy romantic movie.
I just dont get it.

לא באמת סוף העולם!

אני לא יודעת למה, ואני לא מתלוננת אבל יותר קל לי לחשוב בעברית. כאילו עכשיו אני אספר מה קרה לי ה חודש שעבר ואני אקליד בעברית לשתי סיבות: אחד זה שזה טוב לתעמן(Practice) ושתי כהדברים האלו קראו בעברית אז יותר קל להסביר אותם בשפה שבו דברתי בזמן שזה קרא. סתם זה לא כזה מסובך. אז מה קרא? התחלנו התהליך של שירות לאומי. כולנו התחלנו עם רצון לעזור לארץ שלו. עד עכשיו אנחנו לקחנו מהארץ אז עכשיו תורינו לעזור בחזרה. אז נרשמתי לשלוש סירות(tour) אחד הפרדס חנה, אחד בנתניה, ואחד בכפר הרואה. הם כולם בתי ילד.העברית מסבך אותי אז אני אעבור לאנגלית... כמו תמיד

(orphanages).

so basicly i went to pardes chana and i really liked it the place is gorgeous and the ppl were nice (cept for the principal who i was told is switching). they told me that im not good for a regular counsler but i can work in the חדר יצירה and i can tutor in english. cant get better than that...

and there goes the bell... gtg to class... ill finish later.

למה???

זה לא פייר. אני לא רוצה לעשות שרות. הם מזה מגעילים. אני לא חייבת, נכון

He, He, He!!!

etana is getting married in 2 days, ilana chocolate is engaged to.... JONNY! and amalia is here. ilana is coming tomorrow. i am baby sitting the solomons tomorrow cuz they are going to lenny's drummers wedding, he is getting married to benyamin netanyahu's daughter. tuesday i am leaving school at 1140 and ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!

Countdown is starting!

Wow this has been a long time... its just that I have better things to do. I know the blog has feelings like sammy said but what can i do? I have a my cousin's wedding today. I got this really nice shirt from zara and i am trying to figure it out. like it is gorgeous but for some reason it is being mean to me now... wtvr.. well guess what is in a week from today??!! ETANA AND ZEV'S WEDDING! I really cant believe it. like it is finally happening. i am just shepping! and elisheva called me today and yah... life is gr8. tomorrow i have class and i hope im going to go to the gym... like i'll try. and then thursday too. friday is stam... shabbos is going to be nice, sleep and i have a feeling that avi is coming home for shabbos. sunday is maybe gym again. and monday i am babysitting for the solomons... they are going to a wedding, the wedding of the daughter of Binyamin Netanyahu. she is getting married to lenny's drummer. it is really cool. then tuesday is the wedding. i cant i just cant wait. Amalya is coming and shes also going to be at the wedding. i think the seating is me the weisblatts and the sladowskys. its going to be sooooo much fun. its my first good friend's wedding. i wouldnt miss it for the world, bili ayin hara. like when signing up for sherut we had to write a list of 1 to 7 of 7 being worst and 1 the least of things that we may come across during the year. one of our options was that my best friend is getting married the same night as something really important and expensive in sherut leumi. and the person in charge of us sked us if we can miss the wedding... i would die! i cant even think of the consept of not going... but i wont think of it. my parents said that they are probably going to stay until the end. i have to. like i'll go home with the weisblatts or one of the hundered other ppl from beit shemesh. ok. i gtg cuz we are leaving soon. have a gr8 day/ night/ evening. and 'you know who/ bmgbocher' send me the email again. i really want to read it. i have to tell you something funny about your cousin, haddassa. ok ttyg (guys) l.

my hoppin and poppin weekend!

Wow its been a long time! Im not going into detail bout whats been going on lately cuz you pretty much know. But ill just catch up from this shabbos. Friday night my pop got home from shul to tell me the sad news that ayelet wolff (a girl i babysit for, age 5) broke her leg. so we ate dinner and after i went to visit her. I brought cookies for each of the kids (5) and an extra one for ayelet's foot. so i told her that i brought on for her foot and she was like... "but my foot doesnt have a mouth" and i replied "really" and she said "yah." so i said "well i guess your just going to have to eat it instead of your foot!" shes so cute. I read them amelia bedilia book and they went to sleep. i got home and finished my book.... the time traveler's wife... it was really good, confusing, and sad (however, i did not cry sammy- I'm heartless... I only cry for real reasons like when mufasa died in the lion king ;))
so i went to sleep at like 1100 and woke up at... like a good sheltered girl... 1000! oops, shul is like out of the picture. wtvr! so i walked up to shienfeld for tamar sladowsky's bat mitzvah kiddush. and it was really nice. i was the whole lipkin family and i was the sladowskys and two of my campers from the summer... elisheva walked me part of the way back and we were talking for like a half an hour. i got home later than i said i will but it was ok cuz they hadnt started yet any way. so we ate lunch and i went to do my chesed. in the end the girl i play with wasnt even there so i went home and i read a really weird book and after shaloshudis i went to sleep till havdalah. i baked chocolate chocolate chip cookies for an order i had and i watched mona lisa's smile and yah life is gr8.
this morn i went to school.ut my day started before i got there, i got to the bus stop and i realized that i dont have money for a kartisiyah so i went back home. and go thte next bus. I got to school ontime and it was ok. we had our sport bagrut/ regent/ test wtvr u want to call it and i passed! i did 8 push ups and 100 jumps w/ a jump rope in a minute. yes its not the best sammy but wtvr its good for me. then we had torah then we got to leave school cuz our teacher didnt come. so i decided to go to shevs dorm and it was fun ust ot hang with her!
i went home then went to the gym then ate french fries and vegetarian hotdogs and now i am writing this. I'm exaused beyond belief so ill prob go to sleep unless you go on (bmgbocher) so have a gr8 night every one see yah tomorrow sam!
