After the holiday it seemed like a nice idea to spend the weekend in Jerusalem staying at the Judaean Youth Hostel (our primary residence), and prepare for the week to come. The Judaean Youth Hostel or Beit Yehuda is one of the most beautiful buildings I have ever seen. Complete with full-sized pool, workout room, library, classrooms, dining hall, café, computer room, balconies overlooking a beautiful landscape, basketball court, window rooms, and auditorium. It is an amazing place to live and spending the weekend here preparing for midterms and writing papers and such is not such a bad thing.
It is amazing that I'm halfway through the first section. It seems like yesterday that I started year course, and now I'm starting to be concerned that it is almost over (an irrational fear, I know).
The concert that I mentioned in my last post was an incredible brass and percussion group, and it was very fun to see them. Today I think I am going to a park, and then perhaps to watch the sun set on the Old City of Jerusalem from Mount Scopus.
Have restful weekend!
