Farewell, Dance Jerusalem
Two days ago, I officially ended the Dance Jerusalem semester program and boy, I wish I did the year program. Technically, I finished on the 20th of June, however on the 27th we had a Gaga class with Ohad in TLV and on the 30th I had my final level 2 Hebrew exam. Although during the week of the 20th, I already realized the program was finally ending, a very bittersweet moment.
Israel: Mid-Program: “A Day in the Life” by Maytal Abramson
April 7, 2017
A day in the life of my Israel routine. The day usually begins with waking up to the Muslim call to prayer, known as Adhan, at 5 in the morning. It may sound irritating but it’s actually a very calming sound; it also lets me know that I have 2 more restful hours of sleep. For those of you that did the math, great job; I get up at 7am every morning however my schedule changes everyday. Some days I have a Hebrew class and a communications class, other days it’s a mix of Hebrew and dance classes and some days it’s just dance all day long. I really like the fact that I’m not stuck doing the same thing everyday and it also allows me to try new things in Jerusalem (mostly food).

With three weeks remaining before I leave for Israel, I’ve decided to do some pre-departure reflection about my goals, worries, etc.
