After 7 weeks of non-stop Hebrew lessons and 3 weeks of holiday, I am back to speaking English in class. After being forced to use my poor language skills out on the Jerusalem streets, I can now string sentences together and read all the road signs.
My grammar is still terrible, but the words are starting to make more sense to me. Sometimes, I can even hold a small conversation. Whoohoo!
I’m taking an Ancient History class on the Second Temple Period and am well and truly excited. The Western Wall, an important religious site located in the Old City of Jerusalem, dates from the end of the Second Temple period, being constructed around 19 BCE by Herod the Great.
Should be good fun! Can’t wait!
