My life in the HOLY LAND!

Can I just have 26 hours in a day?

2007-11-24T12:56:00.000-08:00

I hate being bored but even more so, I hate having to much to do... of more like I hate having no time to breath. One thing I am so excited for, for next year, is that I will have time to do whatever I want, and NO ONE will be telling me what time do. I can't wait to make my own schedule. I can't wait to decide when to wake up, and not have someone else decide for me! Dont get me wrong, I love doing things and I love most of my job, but I can't wait for a change.

I think it Sherut Leumi 2nd year should have special things. Meaning 1st year is understood that it is crazy and everyone knows it. But if someone chooses to do a 2nd year they should be given certain things, I don't know what but something! The 1st year you go into it with tons of energy and excitement but by the 2nd year, you are already worn out.

For the next month of so I have no Shabbosim to rest...

Upcoming should B"H be a reunion of last years shaerut leumi girls.

The next is Talya's Shabbos Kalla

The next is Talya & Yochana's Sheva Brachot

The next is Last Mta Shabbos...

Craziness!

My New Years Resolution...

2007-10-21T14:52:00.000-07:00

I was thinking that maybe this year will be different... Maybe I will actually stand up to the mission of trying to post about once every other week. I mostly want to post pictures... So my first pictures will be from the beginning of my second year of sherut leumi... CRAZY!!!!!

Shouldn't we just take one year at a time?

2007-01-07T06:37:00.000-08:00

Wow, this past month has been crazy. Sammy can for shabbos and we talked about the fact that this past sunday was 'עשרה בטבת' and then i realized that it was like really a long time ago but it wasn't it was just the beginning of the week. Ahhh, i cant believe it girls are coming next week to check out the pnimiya to do sherut next year. to think that this time last year i was freaking. well, wtvr. and to think that next week, I'm trying for next year...

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

2006-09-10T02:50:00.000-07:00

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....

2006-09-04T03:45:00.000-07:00

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?!?

2006-08-27T00:48:00.000-07:00

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?

2006-08-14T09:46:00.000-07:00

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...

2006-08-13T08:40:00.000-07:00

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!

2006-08-07T15:38:00.000-07:00

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?

2006-08-07T15:01:00.000-07:00

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!

2006-02-19T01:27:00.000-08:00

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???

2006-02-14T10:59:00.000-08:00

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

He, He, He!!!

2006-01-22T10:09:00.000-08:00

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.

2006-01-08T10:37:00.000-08:00

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!

ליל שני של חנוכה

2005-12-26T06:48:00.000-08:00

So friday was typical.... guess what i did... i BAKED! Friday night i didnt go to shul but i had a shalom zachor for one of the ethiopean familys in our neighborhood. so it was at our house and we had tons of ppl in the house. like the whole neighborhood stopped in at some point. there are 6 kids in the family, older ones and 3, now four little ones. there is a second grader who is the biggest tzaddik in the world, he reads tehillim when hes waiting for the bus, he goes to every davening (as in 3) a day. hes always has his tzitzis hanging out. then there is a younger one, in gan, and hes just CUTE!!!! then there is a little girl, that is her... now words needed. then there is the new baby.
after the bris they had a seudat mitzvah, HOLY BAGEL donated alot of bagels and two vegetable platters. they are major tzedaka ppl! then i baked.... and baked.... and baked! i made really yummy 'better then drakes coffee cake' cupcakes. and chocolate snowballs,... then we lite candles.
then the cool part of the day is when i went to yehuda schwartz and he taught me how to make fondant frlowers!!!! its soooooo coool they ar soooo gorgeous!. ill post them at somepoint.
oh on thursday night my grandparents and parents when to watch fri at his basketball game. this is a pict of him.
today i had a waste of a day, i started school late and i had parsha which was the same speech as last year, and it wasnt a parsha speech it was on chanuka. i then had navi which is again a waste of time. then we had art which pretty much was a waste of time cuz we could do what we did there, at home. like she told us that we are doing something kashor to chanuka, so rivka asked her if mw are cutting out black paper and putting selofan in it to hang on the wall.... the teacher told us to picture a 'kad'- jug (for u know who). and to picture a person in it.then to draw what we imaggined. interesting but funny. then i continued on my nachman hat. i left the school bulding and i saw the weisblatts, they picked up adina and rachel from school and they we on their was to eilat. pretty funky. i hope they will be home by thursday so avi can take the car and we can go to efrat... yes sammy i'm going with him!!! it was good cuz my father was leaving jr-m as we ended school so he was able to drive us home, istn it nice to get home an hour earlier. well i got home and made my self lunch cuz all i ate was a sufganiyah that they gave out in school and now it wasnt good, i felt it till about an hour ago in my stomach, sammy we have got to make hem somwtime. so i made myself food and watched an episode of gilmor girls on malky's computer. i watched episode 5:02... I've never watched any before... no clue whats going one, wtvr! so yah my great aunt's daughter and her kids just came to pick my great uncle up and to take him for a few days. its so annoying when you have to meet someone and you have nothing to do with them and know that u will never have anything to do with them and you have to put on this fake smile and say hi.... well i just had to. ok so my pop and bro will be home soon from synagouge and we will have to light the hanuka candles and dance around out hanuka bush... stam.... so ill end now... havea great chanuka and eat latkas (not 10 like i had last night, as my grandfather says the mircle isnt that there was enought oil for the menorah for 8 days its that there was enought oil in the food to last in your stomach for 8 days)

אד חג שמח לכולם ואני אנסה לכתוב מתישהו בקרוב, לילה טוב

well now that your back everything is back to normal, the annoying ppl are annoying, the funny ppl are funny and the ok are OK!
guess what?!? motzash is etana and zev's engagement party! Im so happy! Im so sad! like i dont know what to be! like its gr8 that she is engaged but its so sad that we wont be able to hang like just us! like not more spontanious sleep over and no more private conversations. like i am pretty used to it because ever since she started going out with him but still its scary to know tha it is really official.
sammy you better not be like that...
well yesterday was tamar's bday and i made a reallly nice cake and when i download it onto the computer ill post it. also the chanuka boutique in rashit was yesterday and i made a big basket of cookies to donate to go for an raffle prize! it was so cool, i put out my business card and album and ppl looked at it and also tons of ppl put their raffle ticket in for it! so much fun!
today i had a tanach test which i think and hope went really well, and we had torah but instead we had shiur chinuch and we talked about the yearbook then talked about not getting into and getting into sheirut leumi. ppl dont nderstand that 100 shek for a yearbook which will last a lifetime is NOT alot even for ppl who dont have so much money!
uch i dont want to get upset so i wont talk about it.
then we had art. we had a chanuka party and we brought food. it was so yummy and fun! my teacher was telling us that she got engaged chanuka of 12th grade! AHHHHH!!!! imagine like me getting engaged next week, its soooooo scary! like gosh weird! And pregnant summer of 12th, like as everyone says i can see my self with kids... but not a husband!!!!!
well i gtg bake up a storm- is there a phrase like that?
have a great night!

Monday... Funday!

congrads sheva!

SUM UP OF THE WEEK! (EVEN THOUGH ITS ONLY WEDNESDAY)

2005-12-14T12:02:00.000-08:00

gosh i havent written anything real in a while. well it has been very hectic. with my great uncle and aunt coming ant now my grandparents, me being kicked out of my room and tons of tests. b"h my tests went really well. the ezrachut test i got an 83 and my toshba test i got a 94 (sry sam). we had a machshevet test today and it went well acually. usually the teacher doesnt like it when i say that i dont understand st. but t day he was nice, he allowed me to do part of a different question instead of the thing i didnt understand.
on mon. we had art (like the painting class) and i painted a really pretty pict. im going to try to post it. its so funny cuz that day i was saying how none of my things come out nicley and that painting came out gorgeous. its like if i want it to come out good it will. like if i like what im painting but if i dont like the assignment... it wont be good at all.
i made a cake for my friends rakezet's sheva brachot and she was supposed to pick it up on monday night between 7 and 730. i was babysitting and my mother called me to tell me that they didnt pick up the cake. so i called my friend and asked herwhy she hadent come yet and she said cuz she was in the hospital cuz she got into a car accident. it so sacry, i was in one in the summer and it was totally not anything but in israel car accidents are so commen its so sad. B"H she was if, she was just shocked a little so thats why they brought her to the hospital. so someone else went to pick up the cake.
what else has happened? well yesterday i was so tired during school that i just went home. i left early and went home. its so not me... like this yr i'm more cool about ditching but still i dont do that... but i was pooped so i went home and slept for and hour and half. i woke up in the middlcuz my arm was freezing... it was hanging of my bed. i was so dead that i had to use my other hand to move my arm. CRAZY!
tomorrow im going to the schwartzs and yehuda is teaching me cake stuff! im soooo excited... its so funny hes been calling me like tons of times like making sure im coming and making sure ill have my fondant that i need. its so nice.
well i am so tired and gillian still hasnt come back (not like she said she will yet but thats besides the point) and i want to go downstairs to read my book. so have a good night everyone (the whole three ppl who read my blog) and ill miss u tons sammy! Ahhhh a whole 4 days w/o u in school.... how will i survive? have fun in dougies and bagels and pizza and shopping oh and also the wedding (but thats not one of the important things)....

you know when your tired but you dont want to go to sleep cuz u dont want tomorrow to come? Well, thats what i am now... it sounds funny but im dreading tomorrow cuz i have 4-5(if u consider torah) free hours. like doesnt everyone want free periods... well not me. im sick of them. i wish i could be home... baking instead. its so exciting... i am really working... its such a weird thing the I am in 12th gr. and have opened a business already. You can look at some of the things ive done at www.gingycookies.blogspot.com like the name? (help from etana...) so what have i done latley?
thursday i went to the gym... took the 417 there straight from jr-m. u would think that it would be a short bus ride, you thought wrong, we got out of school at 415, i accually left a few mins early to catch the 415...21. and i got to the gym at 610. its crazy. i could have walked faster. stam. well i went to the gym, i dont like going but a girls got to do what a girls got to do... i went home and showered, eat supper, and watched charlie and the chocolate factory... stupid movie.
on friday i woke up at like 545 to use the loo and of course i couldnt fall back asleep so i decided to make something for yael who was having a major math test later that day. so i put up my famous boreka that she loves. and i wrote a really nice poem (i didnt write it but...) and i gave her a cup with coffee and hot cocoa mix o have a hot drink and i gave her a persimin (yes i know it eats away at ur digestive system... but its yummy) and i gave her the sticky eyeball thing. it was really cool. i wish i had myself as a friend.
this is the poem that i gave her...

When the weather suits you not,
Try smiling.
When your coffee isn’t hot,
Try smiling.
When your neighbors don’t do right,
Or your relatives all fight,
Sure ‘tis hard, but then you might
Try smiling.
Doesn’t change the thing, of course--
Just smiling.
But cannot make them worse--
Just smiling.
And it seems to help your case,
Brightens up a gloomy place,
Then, it sort o’ rests your face--
Just smiling.

i really like it! well yah then i baked alot... cup cakes, cake for tamars bday which i found out is not this sunday (tomorrow) but in like 2 weeks... and i iced etana's cookies... they are soooooo gorgeous! and we started making the cocolate molds for fri's BM. its sooo cute... they are going to be 'confetti' on the tables (they are little tefillin shaped chocolates).
i got ready for shabbos and after we betched licht i went to yael. we walked to shul, but i went to the wolffs to play with the kids instead. they are so cute. i love them. tehilla,5, was telling me the story of 'akeydat yitzchak' she was telling me it as if i never learnt it before.it was so cute. she just talked for no joke 15 mins straight.
we ate at the goldfards and it was really nice. i went to the park and noone was out yet so i went to yael. sara was here already and yaels friend stefanie from america. we went out and sat on the side of the street and talked. we then moved to the park.on the way we passessome of yaels friends (from america) and talked to them. they we two guys. i mean i try really really hard to be dan li caf zechut but this was past me, maybe someone can help me. this guy was telling us that he was talking to his israeli madrich in yeshiva and he was telling him that he (this guy) doesnt have to go to the army in israel cuz he is 'privliged'- hes american so there fore his job is to support the economy. so he said that he doesnt have to fgo to the army cuz he supports the economy... im sorry but this is the reason i have something against america!!!!
well after getting fed up with americans (10 mins) later, i went home to sleep.
this morn i stayed home and davened at home and then we went to the knappels for lunch. it was really fun. they are so normal! i left lunch early in order to go volunteer. for anyone who doesnt know i volunteer at a safe house (a shelter for women who are running away from their abussive husbands). so i c=go and play with a certain girl on shabbosim. well anyway i got there and they told me that there is a new family and that one of the old families sre going back home. its really hard for me... like im going to missthe kids. i dont know if i should be happy or sad. happy cuz they are going to a normal life but sad cuz i wont see them again! i dont know what to think. well i went home at like 315. and slep ttill shabbos was over. after shabbos was over i watched harry potter with sammy again. its good and bad. like the special effedts were really good but they left out so many important things!
well i guess im tired and tomorrow is going to come anyway... so shavua tov likolam!
