Everyday Ezra  #53

Yesterday I got a pencil case with three pockets. In Israel you need a pencil case because in school, kids only have plain old tables. You can't store anything in a table so you need a pencil case. My pencil case is orange with an orange metal gecko on a keychain.

After I got the pencil case I got a miniature pizza. It was a really good pizza. And that's pretty much all we did at the mall.

I'll post soon. Signing off, Ezra

Today we went to Beit Guvrin. In Beit Guvrin there are lots of caves. First we went to the Polish cave, but it wasn't actually a cave, it was a giant cistern.  Next, we went to the cross pigeon cave.  There we saw lots of little pigeon roosts in the walls, and it said that there were 2,000 pigeon roosts in the room.  Next, we went to a cave, it wasn't very cool, it was just two little rooms with a bath in it.  The next one was an oil press.  There was a big stone with a hole in the middle and another circular stone under it.  The first stone rolled around the second stone, and you put olives on the second stone and the first stone crushes them.  Next we went to ancient houses.  Each house had its own cistern.  Then we went to the longest cavern ever, it had lots of cisterns and rooms, and it was really awesome.  Then we went to a burial cave which was really fun.  The burial cave had pictures of animals, some were mythical, some were real.  Then we went to a broken down church.  The church had an arch on top.  Then we went to the bell caves.  The bell caves were huge!  In the bell caves, I saw a really big group of bats.  Then we went home.  That was pretty much all we did in Beit Guvrin.

Today, Tuesday the 25th, we went to the park and had a play date with Yotam, someone in my brother's ulpan class.  At the park, there is a big wooden play structure.  It was amazing,  but there were only 4 slides.  There is also a lake where you can go boating, but we did not go boating, we stayed at the park the whole time.  That park was absolutely, hysterically, fun!  That was the fun part for today, signing off, Ezra

Today, Monday the 24th, is the last day of school before a very long break of 2 weeks.  We took the sukka decoration with the ushpizin home.  We made a new decoration with sand and a picture of lulav, etrog, hadasim, and aravot.  I also took that home.  We made pizza at home, and it wasn't as good as when we made it in Portland.  I made a few mobiles for sukka decorations.  I'll post soon, signing off, Ezra.

Today, Sunday the 23rd, I went to school and made a sukka decoration.  It was a violin with the ushpizin on it.  Then I came home.  After school we went to a park.  It had rope ladders and had chain baskets that you could sit in.  It was fun.  I'll post soon, signing off, Ezra.

Last Shabbat, the 22nd, we went to shul.  Gavi and I went to the park, then I went home with Ima and Abba.  Gavi stayed at the park, and then he came back and we had lunch.  Then we had rest time and snack time.  Then Gavi went to Bnai Akiva, and I went to a park with Ma'ayan and Tani.  We stayed there until around 6:30, then we went back home, but Abba got there first.  Then we said havdala and Gavi got home.  We had ravioli and went to bed.  That was the end of the day.  I'll post soon, signing off, Ezra.

School is pretty much the same everyday.  So I'm going to tell you about the end of the days.  Monday we went to a carnival at a school.  We got popsicles and balloons and went in a bouncy house.  That was pretty much it.  On Tuesday we did not do anything.  On Wednesday we went to Rafi's house for a playdate.  At the playdate I played on Rafi's DS, it was fun.  Then we went down and saw the Were Rabbit movie.  Then we made chocolates.  Then we had lots of technical difficulties, so I won't tell you about that.  On Thursday we had a playdate in the park with Adam and Isaac.  I rode my scooter to the park.  On Friday we drove to Jerusalem and went to our cousin's house for a little bit.  On the Sabbath day, we went to Yoni and Meesh's house for lunch.  That was it for filling in the week.  I'll post soon, signing off, Ezra.
