Happy Sukkot!!
This week was the Jewish holiday of Sukkot, or the feast of the tabernacles. In this holiday everyone builds little huts that they usually eat in that are outside on their porches or patios. In these little huts they usually eat their meals in there but sometimes they sleep in them. This is to remember the Exodus of the Israelites out of Egypt. A couple of friends and I went to West Jerusalem last night to celebrate the last night of Sukkot. We saw many huts, or booths, around the town and even most of the restaurants had them. There were also bands on the street playing and we were able to get some really good shawarmas. Then this morning we went to the Western Wall where there were so many people there carrying around little bouquets of willow, heart of palm, myrtle, and carrying around an atrog. They were dancing around and singing and some were wacking the willow onto the ground. It was a really neat experience to see so many people there!

Lexie just a took a Judaism test. Lexie is now sitting in Judaism class. She probably didn't sleep a lot last night because everyone was a stress case. She is wearing a really cool shirt. Tonight, she is going to watch Indiana Jones and talk to Tessa.
