Today we went to the Jerusalem Zoo or the Biblical Zoo, where we discovered many different kinds of animals that are mentioned in the Tanach. Of course, being a San Diegan I have high standards of zoos, the SD Zoo is world famous, and they have pandas, but the Jerusalem Zoo does have a red panda (my favorite animal) to their credit. I'd like to point out that some of the birds at the Jerusalem Zoo seem less than happy, they had rather sparse feathers around their necks and bald spots, this makes me upset to see beautiful conures and macaws in that state. After about an hour and a half of looking at animals at the zoo and learning more about native Israeli animals that I didn't know about, we headed back to Beit Yehuda for our communication class, mine being "Communication through Comedy" which I in fact despise immensely, because of the lack of legitimate learning that takes place in the class. After we had mincha and lunch as usual, and then a special public speaking expert came to talk to us and give us a public speaking seminar which was amazing. After a meeting with our organizers we went to ma'ariv and supper, our evening activity consisted of going to old city and listen to one of the yeshiva rabbis talk to us about Yom Kippur for a couple hours and then after we just went home.
