Today has been a crazzzyyyy day. If you are not aware (this should be all of you) today is the first day of the camp. Moran, Jake, Darren, Leah, and I all went to volunteer at the Hazon Yeshaya soup kitchen. At the soup kitchen, we learned about the different populations in Rishon, packed food and peeled potatoes. It was exciting and fun to be a part of something bigger.
Everyone else at the camp has been running around all day doing what they can to communicate with the campers. For the Americans, they have been attempting to talk the kids, who only speak Hebrew. I observed one of the Diller Americans, Jake, try to talk to the kids and they were telling him funny words and since Jake don’t know Hebrew he kept on saying “ken” and agreeing to whatever the little kids said. As for tonight, we explored Rishon Lezion and went on a scavenger hunt through out the city, an activity prepared by the Israeli Junior Counselors Amit and Amir.
Last night was the first night we stayed as guests at the Israeli’s houses. I know that everyone enjoyed their first night and that we are all looking forward to spend the rest of the week with our host and their families. For all of you worried parents, all of the kids are breathing.
Love you always,
Ethan <3
