Hi again,
Last Wednesday morning the workshoppers picked Butternut Squash and Green Bell Peppers, with the Table to Table project once again at Kibbutz Kvutsat Shiller next to Rehovot. Afterwards, they had Hebrew classes on the Kibbutz. Last Thursday, the excursion was to Neot Kedumim, a biblical landscape reserve, situated near Ben Shemen. Neot Kedumim has recreated the physical setting of the Bible, in an attempt to bring the Bible and its commentaries to life. The excursi0n there was in order to get a more visual and hands on feel for the stories which the workshoppers are reading.
This weeks seminar theme was the Exodus, continuing on in the story, and seminars were held on Sunday and Monday. The workshoppers revisited the concept of "Freedom To and Freedom From", looked at the Ten Plagues and devised modern day plagues in society, Nachshon - someone who wasn't afraid to take a leap of faith, and the Ten Commandments as a possible fundamental structure which is needed to create a model society. On Monday afternoon, the workshoppers had Hadracha class, and discussed concepts crucial to working as a tzevet (team).
This week has Yom Kvutsa on Tuesday, avoda and ivrit on Wednesday and an excursion to Museum on the Seam in Jerusalem on Thursday.
