Third week of Seminary

So in our third week of seminary we continued with our adventures with Chumash, philosophy, Halacha and the usual suspects of a religious education. What changes is the further continuation and advancement of crocheting kippot as well as our adapting to our kibbutz environment. It's been continually interesting to learn new things about Judaism that I previously was unaware of, such as specific Halachot that I previously was unaware of. During the week we continue to go out Mondays, learn during the days, going to shiurim and studying Chumash. During the weekend, we were with just the girls and we travelled to Allon Shevut to stay with host families. I stayed with the Dutch girls and a British girl, we stayed at a Dutch family there. They were really interesting and spoke three languages which was really cool, especially listening to a Dvar Torah where the father spoke in english, argued with his wife in Hebrew and randomly to talk to our Dutch girls in Dutch, very entertaining. I really enjoyed the Shabbat because it was a lot of relaxation as well as shiurim with our Rabbi and midrasha couple. I really enjoyed catching up on sleep and meeting new people, I really love the hospitality of Israel in general it's truly an amazing place.
