Pesach
I spent this Pesach with a connection in Kfar Yona, outside of Netanya. My friends Rani and Dana came with me which made the experience so much better! Kfar Yona is a very small village, mostly quiet with families with children... it reminded me of neighborhoods in Florida! The weather was also very hot and a litte humid which was a nice break from Tzuba. On the first night of Pesach, we went to a seder in Netanya. It was very interesting to see a seder in Israel... actually very different from what I expected! It was much less organized and of course I did not understand much of anything in the seder... it seemed that they were trying to read as fast as possible in Hebrew! Rani and I tried reading which was funny at our very slow pace. It was also awkward because we were the youngest people there and we had diet restrictions-2 vegetarians and a celiac! Debbie, the woman we stayed with, introduced us to a 17 yr. old boy who lives next to her and we had a good time with him. On Thursday we went to the beach in the afternoon and met another friend there. Although it was hot at the house, it was a little chilly at the beach and very windy! We ended up lying under blankets for most of the time! And then that night, we went bowling with Idan and some of his friends in Netanya and had a good time with the Israeli youth!! It was a lot of fun!!!!
