Shalom from Israel


Just finished the first week of ulpan and so far I’ve learned a lot but like most things I learned in school, I forget very quickly. I think it’s going to be a while until I start to feel somewhat comfortable with Hebrew. The weather has cooled down a little bit and I actually felt a drop of rain today on the walk over to ulpan. However, when I got out it was back to 95 and sunny.

Had a somewhat relaxed second week in Israel, spent Tuesday night at an Israeli friends house that we met, went to a dance bar last night in Rehovot and spent the other evenings doing normal living errands and trying to study some Hebrew. The highlight of the week was probably the pickup soccer game yesterday against 13 year olds. I thought I was in decent shape, but I could barely breathe after the first 10 minutes. We played for about an hour, the Israeli’s crushed us but I had a good time and will probably be back there soon for a rematch. I’m making this a short post because I don’t have to much time to write. I’m meeting my host family for Shabbat dinner tomorrow and will also spend the holidays next week with them. Check out me and my ulpan teacher.
