HAPPY HANUKKAH!
Go eat some donuts.
Seriously...that's what you do during Hanukkah.
BEST DONUTS EVER. Only found in the Shuk in West Jeru.
Yup. Happy Hanukkah!
On Wednesday we will make an adventure to the Western Wall and watch them light the last candle for Hanukkah. I'm excited! Last night and on last Wednesday we all went down to Chadwick's balcony and listened to him sing Hanukkah songs in Hebrew and light the candles on the hanukkiah, or the menorah that has 9 branches rather than the traditional 7 branches that was used in ancient temples.
Couple things about Dr. Chadwick.
*He is the biggest Pharisee in the church.
*He loves to talk. Especially when we are all sleeping on the bus.
*He takes funny pictures of people and then uses them in his lecture powerpoints.
*He has been excavating and teaching in and exploring the Holy Land for the past 30 years.
*His wife is awesome.
*He is a Jew at heart.
*When he lights the Hanukkiah candles, he wears his kippah. Like I said, he is a Jew at heart.
Chadwick is awesome. He always raves about how much he loves us this semester because we don't do stupid things to get ourselves into trouble. Apparently there have been lots of problems with that in the past. So I came with a good group. Well, we all love Chadwick too! He has taught me so much and I appreciate that a lot.
