I've almost forgotten what quiet sounds like....
Although lady Shabbat's arrival was due Friday afternoon, the real guests of honour that day were out Israeli staff counterparts, whose long-awaited arrival was a little nerve wrecking yet at the same time thrilling for us all. We'd been expecting the Israelis, made up if a mix of friends both old and new, to be loud.
And they were.
Luckily, I feel it's safe to say that most of us became quickly accustomed to their restlessness demeanour and may even be starting to adopt it as our own...
This became more so evident throughout the following day. Shabbat is a peaceful time meant for calm and rest, which are two things we got very little of. Instead, our morning and afternoon was filled with an array of activities (such as the wonderfully run giant dice throwing and ODT) which challenged us both physically as well as mentally, and tested our capabilities in regards to working together as the team that we are. Oh, and I forgot to mention- our ability to make lots of noise.
So while some peace and quiet may be nice, I'm not too sure I miss it just yet.
