About a week ago, we all moved into our new home here in Jerusalem. We moved in last wednesday, March the 4th. After less than a week of being away from our scout friends in Holon, luckily for us there was a concert right in Jerusalem that everyone wanted to go to. Idan Rachel is a very famous music artist here in Israel so all of the israeli scouts from Holon came to the concert. The concert was amazing. Idan Rachel is half Israeli and have Uruguayan (i'm not quite sure what the demonym on that one is). While he is the main artist, he has other people in his group from Ethiopia and Israel, and they're all extremely talented. That night pretty much the whole of my section plus our friends the scouts we left in Holon, danced and sang along with Idan Rachel and group. It was a good reassurance to us that we won't lose touch with our friends that we don't live with anymore, and it was also an easy way to get used to Jerusalem life.
Because it was our first weekend in Jerusalem we had what was called a "closed shabbat", all of my section (Section 3) was in the Hostel (where we currently live) for the weekend. It was a bit boring, but nice none the less to all be together. During the day it was beautiful out and we all just sat outside playing card games and reading magazines. Although, this section is very different and includes a lot less israeli interactivity and more school work, I'm quickly learning (through experience) that it's a chance for our section to become a lot closer- and it's nice that we will end the program this way.
