Lebhar in Israel

So I have been the country for a day and a half, and although there is war going on not more than a hundred miles away, life seems relatively peaceful here in the city. Hebrew classes start tomorrow--6 hours a day, 5 days a week. I desparately need the language, so there is no complaint there. I live on Mt. Scopus in the Hebrew University dorms--northeast of the old city. The Mount of Olives is right next door and the call to paryer echoes through our flat five times a day. Beautiful time of year, hot, but not too bad, and cool at night, which is good for sleeping. Move in and registry was pretty boring, so more exciting things to come. Oh, and we happened to find a falafel stand (how can you not in Jerusalem) and they had Al-Manar on the television (that is the Hezbollah TV station)--best terrorsit falafel around, hah. Shalom, shalom, more later.
