Quiz Question #5
What special moments and memories do I like best about our lessons? Which is true?
One week last summer Hadas was going on vacation with her sons in Eilat. I assumed then that we would not meet that week for our lesson. Hadas, however, told me she did not want to miss our lesson. Therefore, she sat in her hotel room with her computer for our one-hour lesson at our regular meeting day and time!
When Hadas started her new job as a teacher in a preschool (gan) teacher in Tel Aviv, she sent me an amazing video she created to introduce herself and the learning centers in her classroom to her students before the new school year began. I was impressed with her presentation and honored that she shared it with me.
Hadas and I liked to talk about the food we cooked and the desserts we baked for our families, especially for holidays. One week I sent her the recipe for pineapple challah kugel. The next week I asked her if she had cooked this dish. She told me in her sweet, lovely voice that she was waiting until I came to Israel, so we could prepare this recipe together in her kitchen!

My student appreciated my understanding of Ethiopian Israelis. She also admired my love of Israel and my familiarity with the country.
