First Grade

well sorry about the delay i know its been ages but I'm back home teaching first grade. I have 5 kids in my class and im teaching all in Hebrew at least im supposed to be. But if i do then they complain..... "Why can't you talk in English? We don't understand you!" So i cheat more often than not. But then again the probably do to. But i cant come down on first graders cheating its too cute.. anyway theyre learning how to read and ill post pictures soon of them learning all aspects of each letter.

Purim In Town

purim in town... town being jerusalem... ben yehuda area... well lets just start off by wow.... home parties are nothiong in comparison .. first of all EVERYONE is wearing a costume... some were rated so were G unfortunatley many were XXX .... anyhow Lubavs were wearing gowns marrying suprisingly enough their chavrusas,,, everywere there were fireworks and "baby bombs" a baby bomb is a little firecracker lit and thrown at someone and then explodes withan extremely loud noise which kinda makes your hjeart skip a beat.... shaving cream fights ... drunks falling over everyone... not the place you wanna be unless youre in the ^ categories... which i wasnt in case anyones wondering... the coolest part about purim in israel is you can either keep two days or none... i find it interesting that all the holidays are only one in israel except the one were getting drunk is a mitzvah.... off to do that (jk ma) HAPPY PURIM ... CHAG PURIM SAMEACH as they say here in the holy land

Shuk Purim

shuk purim is the day before tanis esther in israel... all the kids dress up and go to a carnival.... since were in sem we run it.... i was in charge of the haunted house.... kids lined up outside a classroom ... inside was pitch black with about 12 girls dressed in black.. tables form a square in the middle and there is a wheelbarrow as you walk in.... the door opens one kid is grabbed by the arm and pulled in ( by yours truly) the child immediately has momentary blindness grabs for me.. i move... a girl rasps "shalom chamuda shvi po bvakasha" the child is then thrown (gently) into the wheelbarrow she screams "IMALEH IMALEH" the wheelbarrow starts moving around the room ... water is sprayed monssters jump into the childs face.... lights pop up from nowhere followed by screaming teenagers.... if a kid cries we jump for joy... it shows us were scary... but not scary enouhg.... one girl who scares easily came in ... the annocement was made to be nice... she starts going around non oise is made... one girl pops out from beneath the table and says smiling "shalom" the girl screamed AAHHHHH.... our resedential monster who would put a flashlight under her chin turn it on and scream in the girls faces ... each time she would scare a girl she d appolagize... scary we know... thats all purim in town is coming up
