Short Trip

While everyone seems to be on break, we at Shaf Yativ kept on going. We were considering taking a vacation with the rest of the world. But our students didn't want it at all. They asked us to keep the place open and we did. Turns out more people showed up then regularly.

Last week we spoke about the importance of breaking the norm and taking some time out, while not losing ourselves altogether. we told them that if anyone wants to take time off, they are free to do it. Although I did ask them to plan things out and try to plan it with someone else, so that their time is not wasted.

Today we took a mini-break. we took a trip down the street, to a park next door. We brought drinks and ice pops. We had some games and had a shiur under the trees (R' Eli Cohen with his guitar). Amazing! at the end we capped it off with some cold watermelon and went back to pray at our shul.

we learned how it is not how far you go, but the thought you put into vacationing that gives you the real meaning.
