"If we are to become like him, we must freely forgive others as he has forgiven us…." Spencer J Condie

 This past Monday we went on a Field Trip to Neot Kedumim. It is a biblical reserve place where we learned about all sorts of stuff about life in biblical times. We got to herd sheep, crush zatar (below) for our pita's.....

 ....meet a torah scribe and learn about the logistics and tremendous time it takes to write, and also the great honor it is to be a torah scribe. (btw these scrolls above are 200yrs old).....
 ....we were also able to crush and press olives....
It was incredible to match the symbolism with the process of making olive oil. We will get to pick olives and make olive oil at the center in the next couple weeks!!!(also that's Kathryn Lindsey pushing with me in this pic)






For those of you who know about the shekel shack here at the JC....this is our portable shekel shack. These guys are pretty incredible and have taken the shekel shack to the next level for sure. Not only are they portable on field trips and group adventures outside the center, they also deliver your order if you just give them a call, they have created a "gold membership" system, and so many more things you can not even believe. Gotta love these guys.
Sorry this one is again for those who have been here. This is Ayman, the Arabic teacher. I have never met someone so funny, or with such a big heart. He is so great! (and that's an understatement)
