Partnership 2000

The kibbutz we are staying at is fabulous! It is really a true Jewish experience. It is a popular Kibbutz with all secs of Judaism. There are places to do prayer, and even special pool times for men and women. Only from 5-7 can men and women swim together.
Last night we split into small groups and headed to our host families to see how a typical Israeli family lives. Many of us were nervous to go. Turns out we had such amazing experiences. We learned about what issues their family deals with, and they were so curious about ours. We did our best Hebrew, and helped their little ones with English! It was definately a wonderful night. Today we are heading to the matnas (a type of Israeli jcc) and meeting a counterpart in our different fields. We will write more later.
