The Latest from the Sabrarim…
GEFEN - Gefen is the ultimate performer and her talents have gone on stage with the recent Shavuot celebrations where she sang and danced like a star. She also recently had an eye exam at Hadassah College and was cleared of any problems. She sat quietly during the exams which lasted almost 4 hours while Daddy went across the street to buy some mentos and pizza for the middle child!
ELA - Ela is super, loving and always giving kisses and big hugs. Daddy took her on a hike with her class to Park Britannica, past Beit Shemish where Bar Kochba used to roam and where Ela declares, “It’s where David took on Goliath and beat him!” Yes, Ela knows the story of David vs Goliath. Also on the hike we went into the caves and squeezed through small tunnels and tight areas. Ela was a star. At one point she got stuck in a small tunnel with other kids; while being pushed she started crying. I helped her out, but after 3 minutes she wanted to go back in! She was not scared… a strong Sabra!
Ben - Ben is quite the academic. He is reading in English at a 2nd grade level and doing excellently in Math and Science in school. The teachers love him. We recently went to the Old City where Ben bought a guitar to practice on .. it’s small, but he loves it.
Family Bedouin Experience - The Eglashes decided to have a Bedouin experience with a few other families. We started off traveling to Sde Boker where we visited BenGurion’s house and then proceeded to the Beduin tent which is located next to Park Golda near where Golda Meir lived. When we arrived there sweet tea was awaiting us including a tent the size of 2 houses with over 100 mattresses! YES, we had the whole tent for ourselves. That night we had a traditional Bedouin feast consisting of salads, special Bedouin bread, chicken, lamb kebab, rice, etc. concluding with Baklava and tea for dessert. Kids had a blast in the evening and when we all awoke in the morning we indulged in camel rides! What a fantastic experience.
