Ben Yehuda street



Today for Jewish history class we did class a little differently then usually. We all participated in the sorrow of the distraction of the first temple by throwing a Babylonian bash. My class all dressed in stripes and sang songs to grieve. I really enjoyed class today because it was a creative way to teach the distraction of the first temple.  As a visual learner physically “mourning” the loss of the temple and the lesson we learned that day will forever be stuck in my head. When studying for the test it will be easier for me to remember what happened when the temple was destroyed because the Babylonian bash will spark my memory.


Today is Thursday that means its night out! Today we went to Ben Yehuda street! Ben Yehuda is a street with lots of small boutiques and food stores. I also got to have my fist falafel since being here (it took almost three weeks) and OMG was it worth the wait, just the freshness of the food was to die for! I officially feel like I am in Israel because I have experience the world known Israeli falafel. On Ben Yehuda street I also did my first shopping, I got a blue humsa necklace.
