Day 8

Hello, and welcome back to daily coverage of life as a teen living in Israel for a year,
I am your host Jesse, and I am that teen.  

Ok random intro over.  Today was a normal day.  We are beginning to get into the normal grind of things.  We have a pretty intense schedule that spans till 10:45 at night, but we have large breaks thought the day, so its not so bad.  Life in a construction zone is becoming normal, and everyone is adjusting to the daily changes.  

It is interesting to watch as people meet new people.  The questions they ask; what’s your name, where ya from, what kind of music you into (my personal favorite)?, and by then you have enough for a conversation.  Meeting people is a dynamic that is essential for a program like this to survive.  The Yeshiva has a very family atmosphere, and everyone is becoming close friends here.  I was remarking to a friend earlier today, I am pleasantly surprised, everyone in the grade is nice.  There isn’t anyone who I despise as of yet (which happens to be unusual), and its lookin like it may only improve.  

In other news one of my new friends and myself are starting up a canteen business.  I shall update you all on how that comes along.  We hope to be up and selling within the next few day.  Any ideas of items to sell feel free to tell me in the comments!  Thanks in advance!  Ok, time for sleep, Have a good day and I’ll see you all when the Earth makes another rotation!

Jesse

Jesse, so terrific that you are blogging your experience and that you are loving it so far. Let us know when you want to trek to Maaleh Adumim for a Shabbat.

hey jesse, a good tip is to buy syrup at the makolet, mix it with water, and then pour it into ices molds, which u can get at meah shearim or other places, u can either eat them yourself or sell them wtvr u want. this also works with coffee and chocolate milk, great way to keep cool
