Classes Begin






In Israel, Sundays are like Mondays in the states. Everything is open, and it really יום ראשון. Blog Activity-what does this mean?
We needed to be at CY (Conservative Yeshiva) by 7:30 at which time there were announcements for all participants in the classes, shacharit services were held and then we were given the final list of classes including our ulpan classes.
My class schedule is as follows:
9-12:30- Ulpan
12:30-1:40-Lunch
Mincha
2 -3:45 Midrash -Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays
2 -3:45 Psalms -Mondays and Wednesdays
4- 5:30 Engaging with Israel-Sundays
4 -5:30 Contemporary Halacha-Mondays and Wednesdays
4 -5:30 Legacy Heritage Workshop-Tuesdays
4- 5:30 Parshat Hashavua on Fridays

We get homework every night in Ulpan but not in any of the other classes.
The Conservative Yeshiva have a very nice campus but the classes meet in 'found spaces.' I am posting some pictures of the Yeshiva campus and classrooms and one of one of the caravan, where my ulpan class met for four days.
Blog activity: Which picture do you think is the Caravan? What is an Ulpan class??
