June 19, 2013 was an eventful day...
Neot Kedumim was so fun! I feel like the field trips have
been getting better and better, every one I love and the next one I love even more.
Today was full of adventure, we got to crush spices, herd sheep,
make lentil soup and pita on a fire pit out in the woods. We also got to learn how
they write in Hebrew for holy books like the Torah. So Interesting and fun!
We also learned more about the story of Rebekah and Isaac. At the well, Rebekah would have had to have gotten over 200 buckets of water for the camels of Abraham from the well. (Camel need about 10 or 20 buckets each and he had about 10 camels with him.) You can see that the Lord must have really been leading the Servant of Abraham to Rebekah. Right before Rebekah got to the well, the servant of Abraham prayed to find her. In order for him to find the wife of Isaac. He asked the Lord that when the right women came along, he would ask her to get him water and if she would offer to get water for his camels also. That would be the confirmation that she was the right one. And now you can see how much work that would have been for Rebekah. You can also see that this would make it really clear that Rebekah was the one that the Lord choose for Isaac to marry.

Torah Scribe, This job is generational (what I mean by that is you learn it from family members and it passed on through the line) All the torahs are written by hand and it takes about a year or longer to finish on book.
Well hope you enjoy this post...
