Last Day of Classes, Until Sunday
Today was the last day of the first three-week summer session here at the yeshiva. Most of the friends we've made during the past three weeks will be leaving, heading for homes around the world. We studied with students from Germany, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, the United Kingdom, and from across the United States. It was an intense three weeks and we enjoyed many of our classes.
There are four or five of us (out of nine) who will be continuing Hebrew Ulpan (intensive study) next week when classes resume for the second summer session on Sunday. Our Hebrew teacher currently thinks that she will be able to remain our instructor and that the class will only consist of the four or five of us that remain. That will be awesome!
We had a pizza party for lunch today to say goodbye to our new friends. Only a few dozen students are remaining for the second session and more are coming in from around the world and we'll meet them at dinner on Friday night. The second session will be significantly smaller than the first session and that'll be nice because sometimes, our basement classroom was pretty crowded.
Aside from Hebrew, all new classes start on Sunday. I'm really looking forward to the thrice weekly class on Halacha or Jewish law. It'll be taught by one of the leading Halachic authorities in the Conservative Movement. That will be a fantastic class, I'm sure.
The remaining two afternoons each week I might have to miss, in order to get work done but there are some interesting classes offered then as well.

Ok, the page was posted by Matt, so it says; however, I just can't see Matt wearing long skirts to class!

However, in the beginning of school, many women, including myself, only wore long skirts. Now people come to class in shorts and tank tops - sometimes not even clean ones.
