Hello again. After two weeks of yeshiva I am happier than ever. Unfortunately the details of my learning that I wrote in my last blog was a waste since they have changed. I am still not sure why but the Rabbis here think I am very smart. They have moved me up to level 7 of a possible 8 levels of Gemora. The time it took for me to get into level 7 in Gemora was extremely fast. It could possibly be one of the fastest in the yeshiva's history. This means I am on the advanced track and am studying talmud 8-10 hours a day with the head of the yeshiva as my Gemora teacher.
Since some of you would most likely want to see some of the people here and some of the places I am going to try to post pictures in my blogs starting with this one. The first picture is of one of my roomates and I, the second is my good friend Baruch Rubin and I, the third is the dining area, and the fourth is some yeshiva students hard at work learning Gemora.
Although this yeshiva is very focused on learning, it also has a love of eretz yisrael and has therefore planned a trip for all the yeshiva students on tuesday. We are going to the Mt. of Olives cemetary, on a tour of the city of David, and to the (Bill) Davidson Center to see the newest excavations of the Western Wall. I will write about the trip in my nest blog entry.
I am very busy here so I will try to post a blog on friday every week.
