Yom HaAliyah
Yom HaAliyah was this past week and so we had a celebration in our ulpan. We sang some songs and discussed the different countries people come from, and took turns telling a little bit about our own Aliyah stories (in broken hebrew, of course 😅) But the main event was the “pot luck” where people brought a dish representative of their country of origin. There were some obvious ones: A Columbian oleh brought a large pot of columbian coffee. The Belgian in my class made Belgian waffles, and the woman from Mexico in my class made a large bowl of guacamole. One of the Canadians made a plate of maple flavoured cookies. (with a small glass jar of maple syrup as a prop just in case you didn’t get what the cookies had to do with Canada). And me? Well, what could be more American than…..
And just in case you’re wondering if it was actually any good:
ha yes would have been better, but logistically difficult
