Dinner with Ariella

Oh how I love sleeping. As I always do on Shabbat I slept in and ate in my room. At 11 we had Shabbat morning services. This morning, along with a regular service, one of the girls on our trip had her bat-mitzvah. After services, we had lunch and then free time until 4. So I worked on my Jewish History essay. At 4, my JHist. Class and one other class got on the bus and headed towards our teachers houses for dinner. It is so cool and weird that it is perfectly normal for us to go to our teachers house for dinner. We had dinner with Ariella, her husband, and their adorable one-year-old. They made sweet potato latkes and other delicious foods. After dinner we had havdalah and lit the Hanukkah candles. Then we had sufganiyot and had the opportunity to look at Ariella’s wedding album, her daughters first year album, and pictures of her from here community service and army training (those were a little embarrassing for her). It was so nice of our teachers to invite us over for dinner and we had a really good time. When we got back to Tzuba we had a little free time and then announcements. After announcements Sara and I decided to watch Harry Potter as a way to relax and prepare for the SAT tomorrow. Now I am going to sleep so that I have a good nights rest before my big test.
