The Beginning of the learning journey!!!

me at the Kotel!!

We arrived in Israel safely. We travelled 28 hours, one of the flights my mum was going mad because this amercan next to my mum on the plane was chewing gum like a horse even when my mum put her earphones on she could still hear the man. On of the flight we were on the new plane it had touch TV screens!! how awesome , It even had a video of the flight we watched it when we were landing!One of the meals on the plane was disgusting, the eggs were not cooked properly!!!!! So i did not eat anything on that flight. Every other kosher meal was really good. I sleeped on the plane for a little bit.The Berinsons ( Sara and Rachel) picked us up. We stayed at the berinsons for one night and one day.  Later in the morning we went to family were we will be staying for most of our trip.
 That day we went to the kotel and davened mincha, both of us kissed the wall i also wrote a note and posted another. We gave tzadakah and it was so so hot i wet my face with water then left. We walked and was very very very hot!Mum and i forgot our hats so i had to buy one that day. We toook a bus to the kotel. Where we are staying is close to a bus stop.

Today we we went on a bus again to go to learning, because we were going to do some chesed our teacher. brought a book about chesed and we earnt how it is much better to do chesed with your heart, We are learning with Moriah she is a friend of Esties and she gave me a big chocolate. After learning we went to do some chesed. We went to a soup kitchen called Meir panim. We gave food to people who can not afford or are homeless. We gave out over 240 meals.  There was no food left at the end and still more people were coming. I had to take the food on a tray to the people when they came in.  I also cleared the tables, gave them more food if they wanted, filled water jugs.  My mum served the soup.  There were two other girls there my age. At the end we had to clean the floor.  They threw water all over the floor and we had to sweep it out with a gummie plastic thing.  I couldnt do it at first and my shoes got all wet.  Luckily I was wearing crocs.  After serving all of this food we were really hungry so we went to Burgers Bar.  The best burgers!!!!
Later we saw Mums friends Simone, Nick and their baby Meira and then the lewises came to see us.  Tomorrow we will go to Neve Daniel to see them in the afternoon.
I will try and put some photos up soon.

Toodles for now
