This Fall I will be spending 4 months in Israel on NFTY-EIE and this is my blog about it to update everyone on what I am doing while I am there. Enjoy!

Adopted family dinner
Today was a regular school day. We woke up at normal time and then had Hebrew class. Because our families were in class we learned how to say family terms. After Hebrew, we had Jewish history (Grammy and poppy also sat in on that for a while). Then we had lunch and general studies. My classes went well and I took my teachers and classmates cookies (that way I wouldn’t have to eat as many and gain all the weight). During English we all taught how our home schools have us write certain parts of papers (I did overall structure, Sydney did thesis, eleni did paragraphs, and leah did body paragraphs). I went to my tutoring with D Sol, but he forgot we had class so I just gave him my homework and had a free period. At 7:15 all the EIE kids go on the bus to meet our families (or adopted families) for dinner. Grammy, Poppy, Yael, Sydney (we adopted them into our family for the week b/c their parent's didn't come on the trip) and I went to a restaurant named Olive (it is owned by Yael’s cousins). It was so good! Poppy and I shared a sirloin, and a flank steak. I also had a salad and mashed potatoes (we think they had some sweet potatoes in them too). For dessert Yael, Sydney and I shared a fresh sorbet thing that had a scoop of apple, a scoop of mango, and a scoop of raspberry sorbet. Poppy had a walnut pie or pecan pie tart thingy and it was really good (I had a bite). I have to say having real food made me feel so good! Then we got on the bus and went back to Tzuba and went to bed.
