So much has happened since I’ve last blogged. Last weekend I went with two fellow Gratz student, Danielle and Meara and friends from the Ulpan to Jerusalem. It was an amazing trip. We stayed in lovely Hostel and toured all over Jerusalem. We went to the Shook and there I met my Hebrew school teacher from my old Temple in Charleston West Virginia. It had been about 8 years since I’ve seen her and according to her, I look older but I haven’t grown an inch. We also went to the Kotel which is alway an amazing experience.

On Tuesday I met with Michelle, who is also from Gratz, and her husband Ari when they were going through Haifa. We went to a wonderful Thai Restaurant and then we trekked to the Ba’hai Gardens. I’ve never seen such colorful and well organized gardens. The beauty of the place took my breath away.

Well if you read the title of this blog, then you know that I am writing on the last day of my Ulpan. I am not happy at all that this experience is over. I wish it could last forever. I have enjoyed every day at the University of Haifa and it has began to feel like my home away from home. I also have met and connected with so many terrific people, and I am very sad to leave them. Hopefully, I will be able to return again, so I can relive this experience again.
