So once again it seems that I am going to start a blog entry with an appology about not updating my blog sooner. I guess that that is just one of those things. And again like last entry i want to comment on how quickly the year is going now! Summer ulpan seemed to take forever and first semester was slowish but second is simply flying by; i can hardly believe that a) I have been in Israel now for eight months (thats almost unbelievable) and that in 72 days time I return to the UK.
Since my last update quite a lot has happened.
We had the southern Tiyal. We started off in Yeroum, which is a develpoment town south of Bethsheba, and we then went to the Kibbutz were we were staying Yahel, and after a day walking in Timmnah natinal park we went down to Eilat and went swiming of the reef, amazing fishes. The next day we went to an envirmental Kibbuzts also in the deep Negeve. The desert is amazingly beautiful and after being there even if only for a few days it is more obivous why the great religons emerge from there.
Apart from the southern Tiyal my year is continuing as normal, with classes and lots and lots of work. Rabbinic Texts is going well, in fact I am going an extra not for credit class there just me and Tina (a felllow rabbinical student) it is great and Aliona is also an amazing teacher. The continuing (two semister classes) are carrying on Mordern Hebrew is still by far and away my worst subject but even there I am making progress. I have also given my second Sermon (this time on a Saturday) and as it turned out Jonathan Magonent was in the congregation.
Last week Emily's parants came to Jlem to vist with her and this week my mum and dad are in town.
So all in all things are going well and i am enjoying myself.
