Tov, Tov Week

1. Passover. Our Judaism teacher helped us celebrate an early Passover. At this particular Passover, it was emphasized that the telling of the exodus is mostly for the children and so we made it a little more interesting, i.e. ending with a rap with pneumonic numerical symbolism. I didn’t get to look for the Afikomen this year, but I have a feeling I’ll get another chance.

2. Red Sea (Eilat snorkeling). This day was awesome for a lot of reasons:

· I got to wear Lisa’s mu-mu. (It’s getting passed around to every girl at the center. It magically fits us all).

· Taking underwater engagement pics of Andrew and Stephanie. I can’t lie, I’m 10,000% jealous.

· Spending some quality mall time with Johnathon and James. Good good people.

· Touching a gargantuan purple fish.

· Cow Kibbutz. (K-I-B, B-U-T-Z, we’re in a kibbutz and happy are we). And chocolate milk in a bag is the best invention of all time.

· Bus dance party. DJ Melia rocks.

3. Talent Schmalent Show. Easily the best part of my week. I’m not super into talent shows, but somehow, that night will forever be engrained in my mind as one of the funniest nights of my whole life. Thanks to a lot of incredible untalent and our brilliant MCs, Brandt and Andrew.

• Brandt: “Doesn’t that just make you want to start a family?”

Andrew: “Yes, separately.”

• Brandt: “Who’s your favorite rightly guided Caliph?”

Andrew: “I’m a Abu Bakr man, myself.”

Brandt: “But where would we be without 'Uthman b. 'Affan?”

Andrew: “True.”

• Andrew: “C-Bass and Sister Ann “Kickin Bod” Killian.”
