Summer Hebrew 26

You never know what you might stumble upon. Walking back the Yafo Gate in Jerusalem, we wound our way through the Jewish quarter. Lo, and behold, we came upon this site which to you may just look like a pile of rocks. It is actually the foundation layer of the great Broad Wall of Jerusalem from the time of Hezekiah. This wall wound it's way around the large western portion of the city and used to be over 21 feet tall until the Babylonians destroyed it.

This whole summer has been full of ordinary days and stunning surprises. I came expecting to get into the groove of rather mundane language study. But I have been so surprised at how much fun we have. Yes, it is fun to read the bible in Hebrew. And on top of that our teachers make the class time very enjoyable. Today we sang a few songs taken from Psalms and Isaiah. After that we recited one of our memory verses together and began acting out the vocabulary to Genesis 2.

The winding path of this summer course has only 4 more days to roll and in 10 days I'll be back with my family. And after that the language learning journey has only just begun!
