So I thought it was about time for another posting. I think I am now used to being in Israel, which is saying somethng. I am certainly used to the heat, I am still not enjoying it beign so very hot, but I know that at times I am walking along thinking 'this isn't so bad' when eariler on I would have been melting.
I am evening geting used to the work and Hebrew. (Actually found some time yesterday to work on something that wasnt modern Hebrew or something thing HUC related.
On Wednesday I went (along with lots of my classmates both male and female to 'Women of the Wall' that was quite an experince, although not as hostile or as difficult as I had been expecting. Its also really fun meeting up with Laura we are both quite streessed at the moment. (But lots of people on the course are) but it really helps to have someone. :) Not to mention that she is great as well.
Yesterday I tried to go out and see the meteroite shower but there is too much light in Jlem to really see anything in the sky. We did see a couple of shooting stars so it wasnt a waste of time. I am now getting ready to make the house presentable and think about getting ready for Shabbbat as another week in Israel draws to a close.
Apart from that my thoughts are turning towards the yomim norim as we are now in Ellul. (The Jewish month before the New Year), really don't ask why the New Year is in September/October (No really don't). I had left all my shofarot back home so I have had to buy one here. I am very impressed by how good value Jewish ritual objects and books are here. When one does the conversion from NIS into Pounds its great.
So in general things are going really well and I am having fun. But I am missing my friends back home.
