Hi!

This is going to be a quick post.

Firstly, I just had a Jewish History test and it was pretty good. There were 10 short answer, an essay, a timeline, and 15 fill in the black type. It was really long. I used almost 4 pages front and back of notebook paper. It was on the second Temple period. You could of figured that out because I've been talking about that time period a lot in my other posts.

Purim in tonight and tomorrow and Israelis love Purim. People dress up and act goofy and its a really fun holiday. One custom is to get so drunk that you can't tell the difference between Mordechai, the good guy, and Haman, the bad guy. We're gonna have to skip that one this year. One Purim song says that those who enter the month of Adar, the month that Purim is in, will multiply their happiness. We're having a dance tonight and tomorrow we go to a parade. Today I'm a cowboy (original, I know. I barely dressed up.) and tomorrow I'm doing to borrow some clothes from one of the hippies and its gonna be funny. I do miss my mom's hamantashen. They are delicious and I've only got store bought hamantashen here that aren't as good as the homemade ones. 

Anyways, other quick updates. I stocked up on apple juice today, I'm planning on going with some friends to my friend's friend's house this weekend, and my Jewish history teacher got marriend so we had Baruch (my hero), Rueben (the smartest man alive), and Josh Wienberg (my brother's idol)  as subs. All of them were amazing but its good to have David back.

I love you guys!
