Ulpan ended on the 24 of September, about a week and a half ago, and vacation has been awesome so far. I spent Yom Kippur in Jerusalem. I hosted a very small pre-fast dinner at my apartment, went to a conservative beit keneset very close to where i live and had break fast in the kfar at the boys apartment (Jonathan, Steve and Sergio). It was a surprisingly easy fast.
After Yom Kippur i went to Eilat for two nights (Sept 29-Oct 1). I absolutely love Eilat and think it is the perfect place in Israel for a relaxing vacation. I went with a really fun group of people and we stayed in an amazing hostel directly across from the beach.
We came back to celebrate Sukkot in Jerusalem. The first night i went with Jenna and Rachel to Jenna's cousin's cousins house in the old city. Dinner was very fun! It was all young people and everyone was very nice. It reminded me a bit of Chabad.
Now, Monday October 5, I am waiting to go to Paris! I am meeting Juliet and Diane (my roommates) there and on Wednesday Rach (Rachel Robinson) is meeting me there! I am so excited! I have never been to France and i have heard that Paris is an amazing city.....and I can't wait to see Rach!!!!
So, this is just a quick update. I will write all about my Parisian adventures when I return to Israel. That's all for now. au revoir !
