Last Wed, as you probz saw on the news, it snowed. Then it snowed again. We had a foot in a half. Most of my school was stuck in for Shabbat. The caterer couldn't come deliver since the roads were blocked so we had to cook ourselves. People waited on line to GET IN to the grocery store and then bought out the whole thing. We made bags and bags of frozen shnitZel, strong beans, deli roll etc. obv I had my own grilled chicken on the side with my roasted veggies.
It was a great bonding opportunity. We all cooked together and ate together. No real administration was around except for our madrichot who I give so much credit to for being so organized and on top of things. We had a lot of singing and a shiur. Classic midmo "in Shabbat" except we really did it all ourselves. It was so nice to see everyone pull together.
Anyways the whole week we were basically stuck in. I stayed indoors from thurs morning straight till Sunday night. Not a step outside. And when I did leave, I wondered why I did and I basically froze my toes off. Hailing a taxi for 45 min isn't exactly the warmest activity. Some great stories from that night.
I was getting some cabin fever so the second the trains were back up and running I left for the gym. It was the best hour of my week.
Throughout the week we watched tons of movies and spent a lot of time in the beit Midrash. Totally milked the free time thing. We had no school because since the country never gets snow, they don't have plows and therefore the roads were closed. None of our teachers made it to school. We had a few classes on Skype which was cool.
It was really an experience of a lifetime.
I saw so many people help eachother. People pushing cars out, hosting eachother when the power went out, etc. That's Israel for ya.
