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!

Lots of test prep
This morning we woke up at regular time even though we had a full day tiyul. Instead of leaving right away, we had Hebrew class first, but it ended a little early. Then we left for our tiyul. We learned about the bar kochva revolt and got to climb in a cave! Then we had a picnic lunch and got on the bus to go to our 2nd destination of the day. Our 2nd site was a Roman amphitheatre. We learned a little about rabbi akiva and why the Jews would go to watch the gladiators even if the rabbis said they shouldn’t (they went so that when the ruler made a decision on whose life to end (if a jew was fighting) and based it off the people the jews could all vote no). To end the tiyul we played a game between all the classes (which class could steal the most hats off peoples heads) and we ran around in the amphitheatre. We also had a quick service before we got on the bus. When we got back to Tzuba we had about an hour of free time and then I had to go fill out forms for the PSAT (gross). Then we went to the meeting that everyone else was at (it was about how each of us have to make an "ad" about why we picked eie, how it is going, why people should come, and have to include a picture of us since we have been here)and dinner. After dinner I had a little free time and then had Math SAT prep. It wasn’t too bad and the stuff I went over with Noa yesterday was really helpful. Then I showered and did some homework but I want to go to bed early so that I can have enough energy for the PSAT tomorrow.
