Last year I was in kitah bet at Sde Chemed in Ma’ale Adumim and I kind of liked it, mostly because of my friends especially my best friend Eliad. And because I could bring my Game Boy to school and play during hafsaka (that means recess). I went to ulpan too, 3 mornings a week. But this year we had to move to the center of the country because my dad got a job in Netanya. So last week I had to start at another new school and I wasn’t happy.

My mom insisted on taking pictures and tried to get me to stop being angry and smile for the camera. She was just getting me more annoyed. I was tired from all the times we had to go buy more books and supplies for school – we went to three different stores and one of them at least 4 times until we were able to find everything on the list.

Yesterday I went to Ben Gurion airport with my Mom at 6:30 in the morning to greet over 200 olim chadashim who came from America with Nefesh B’ Nefesh.  Here’s what I saw:

hundreds of people including the leaders of Nefesh B’Nefesh

2 places to get free coffee and tea – including ice coffee (my favorite)

Lots of pastry and fruit Click to read more …



When I was in America I watched Bakugan on YouTube when it first came out.  Then we came to Israel and I really wanted to have my own Bakugan but didn’t know where to buy them.  So I went to Amazon and found a set and asked my Mom to buy it for me, but Amazon wouldn’t ship them to Israel.   So my Mom ordered the set and had it shipped to a friend who knew somebody that was coming to Israel.  Of course she didn’t tell me this and I just kept wanting them for a long time. Then she surprised me with the set as my afikomen present.

This is what Bakugan look like.
