Israeli version of georgetown cupcake
As a Hanukkah present we got to sleep in until 8:15 this morning. In the hour and 15 minutes we had before we had to be on the bus we had to get ready, eat breakfast, and buy our secret Santa (it has a weird Israeli name too but secret Santa is easier) presents. I was really on top of things and was even able to secretly give my person their present. (We are giving presents every other day). Then at 9:30 we got on the bus and headed up north to have a Hanukkah day with the Israeli kids. When we got to their school we quickly moved to our respective buses for our mitzvah projects. We weren’t given a choice on where we were going so I went to a food-packaging place. We made Hanukkah food packages. In the middle of making boxes I was told to go up stairs to make candy packages for kids in the hospital. After about an hour and a half of packaging we got on the bus and went back to their school. Right when we got back we went to the dining hall and had lunch and then we split up into 4 groups for centers. There was dodge ball, a Hanukkah quiz, jelly taste testing, and playing dreidel (I won my game). Then we had a torah study and discussed western influence on Israel but focused on Israeli youth. After that we had a sufganiyot snack and then lit the candles and had a talent show (I didn’t perform). When the talent show was over we got on the bus and headed back to Tzuba. Along the way we stopped for dinner so I had a mozzarella, pesto, and chicken sandwich from aroma. Then we walked around a bit and ran into a sufganiyot stand. There were soo many different kinds! And I found the perfect one. I saw it as my chocolate cubed Georgetown cupcake just in sufganiyot form. It had a chocolate filling with chocolate icing and chocolate sprinkles on top. It was absolutely wonderful. Then I bought myself a Hanukkah present of new headphones b/c mine decided to break yesterday. We got back to Tzuba around 10. I showered, straightened my hair, and called ally to say happy birthday. Now it is late and I have a ton of SAT prep tomorrow so I am posting this and going to bed.
