This week was very short because I went to Tsfat for a Shevet Shabbat B'yahad. I only had volunteering on sunday and monday. I knew it was one of my last few days, so I spent my time speaking to the people their and listening to their stories. Many of them are survivors of the Shoah, so I listened to the stories they were willing to tell me. This was very important to me because I understand that within a few years there will be no one left who survived the concentration camps. I feel obligated to listen to all of the people I can.

The last day of volunteering was nice. All of the volunteers wrote a card to Ayelet, the director of the old age home. And we had a few nice parting words. I really enjoyed volunteering there. Befriending all of the people there was a enjoyable experience, the coffee breaks were just an added bonus.
