We are prepared to be un-prepared. We look forward to getting lost. We can't wait for our first attempt at driving in Israeli traffic. We anticipate Beau eating everything in sight and Carmel grimacing at the baby lamb covered in figs on her plate. We hope we stay nice to each other for the largest percentage of the trip. We believe this will be a time for us that is like no other time before. And we are excited that we get to shout, "This Year in Jerusalem!"

Shalom!
This blog was created to keep family and friends informed whilst Beau and I (Carmel) are studying Biblical Hebrew--immersion-style--about 20 miles outside Jerusalem. We are staying at a kibbutz called Hotel Tzuba. We will be here for 6 weeks. The first 4 weeks, we will be studying at the Beginners level and during the last 2 weeks, we will be studying at the Intermediate level. Aside from the occasional class field trip, we will be in class Monday thru Friday from 8:30am-12:30pm, with afternoons and evenings free for homework and personal-time.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the well-wishes, everybody! @Huntress: we are not in Israel yet! Sorry, that wasn't very clear. We leave June 16 and return Aug 2. 10 Days till Israel!
