We had a Sedar Meal and it was incredible. It started at 5:30 Pm and didn’t finish until 9:30. It didn’t seem like it took forever though. It was cool because Ophir, our Jewish professor, led the sedar. We each had a sedar book to follow along with. It definitely opened on the opposite side of books in America. We sang the table of contents through before we did each step of the sedar meal. There were a number of people that sang or read certain portions of the presentation. The funniest was when Sam and Archi made a rap about the questions and answers with numbers.
I sat with Trevor and Christiane and enjoyed getting to know them. Trevor is actually looking into optometry. Christianne is still trying to decide what to study. Right now she is an exercise science, Health and wellness, major. Trevor is a biology major so we talked alot about the different classes and professors to take. My highlight of the night was Trevor teaching me how to pray in Spanish. It has been so fun to practice that.
I definitely need to learn more nouns though so I can pray for more things.
The meal was huge and I was stuffed by the end of the night. We had fish for appetizer. Trevor was nice and ate mine. Then we had a really hot soup. It was actually some really good broth with a little bit of carrots and celery. It would have been amazing if it had chicken, noodles, and crackers. Then we had a salad. Then it was the main course with chicken, a little cheesy broccoli, carrots, and fried mashed potatoes. I’m sure they weren’t very good for me, but I did enjoy them. We had a fruit cup and various chocolates for desert. Oh yeah and you can’t forget the four glasses of grape juice you drink through out the night. It was a really neat experience.
It did make studying extend to really late. But it was a great break. We were all dressed up in church clothes so you didn't actually feel like you were in the JC. It was so nice.
