My first week in Israel
Mood:  accident prone
Okay, so I have never actually blogged before, but I figured since I am in Israel, and sooooo many of you are reading my webpage...why not start!?!?!?!
First and foremost, I want to let everyone know that when you wake up this morning and hear the news on TV that there was a bomb in Tel Aviv....don't worry!!! I am fine and as far as I know all of my classmates and friends are fine too. It's sad to me that I have only been here a week and already there is a reason for me to tell everyone that I am ok and that I have not been a victim of terrorism, because someone else has been. Sigh.......

On a not so serious and funnier note, I myself have been a little accident-prone lately. On the way to meet up with some friends, I slipped on the steps in or apt. building and fell down and got a big-ass bruise on my arm. It doesn't really hurt anymore, but it looks real nasty! :(
Yesterday, almost everyone of my friends and I went to services here at HUC in the morning and all was going well and normally until a women was called up to bless the Torah and fell off the side of the bimah (stage)!!!! It was awful. No one knew what to do and then people started to help her and they took her to the emergency room and we heard she was okay. I have never seen anything like that happen before at all!!!! But we rabbinical students thought maybe it was our first great lesson in how to lead services: what to do during an emergency and how to handle unexpected situations. Either that or marry a jewish doctor to sit in the front row when things take a turn for the worse....you take your pick!
I also attempted to do laundry today in our crazy washing machine and didn't get the hose all the way in the sink, so water ended up everywhere!!!!! Luckily, a squeegee came to the rescue just in time!!!!
Hopefully, all the accidents around me will be ending soon! Okay, well this blog is long enough, so I should probably attempt to go do my hebrew placement test and meet up with some classmates to hang out later. I'll try to post regularly, but until my computer gets fixed....who knows! Have a great day everyone!!!!
