Fun times around the Center!

We've been so busy over here! We've mostly done things around the center and jerusalem, but it's been really busy and fun! Here are just a few pictures of some of the events this past week!
First of all, on the North side of the building, they have "Biblical Gardens" which have different items that would have been here in Biblical times. On Monday we all went out there and had a demonstration on Olive crushing. Last week we picked all of the olives on the property, and then we took those same olives and crushed them. Amie and I are there using the equipment. It was really hard!
That night we had a class FHE across the street with a campfire and s'mores. It was a fun bonding activity for our class.
Then on Thursday we had a Seder (Passover) meal led by our Jewish professor. It was intense. I was on the setup committee and we worked for 3 hours getting everything perfect. They wanted all of the cups and silverware polished, napkins with a special fold, etc. It was fun, though. So our teacher was born and raised Jewish in Boston, but moved to Israel where he studied and now teaches. He's awesome. So he came and we had the Passover with everything in proper order. It was really interesting. Our professor is the one with the yamaka. We all took turns serving the various dishes, as you can see Kira and me modeling with our trays... Oh the first pic is me and my wonderful roommates all ready for the Seder! It was a fun night!
