Just had such a cute olah moment:
I’m making hamin for Shabbat, woke up early to get everything ready. Forgot stuff three separate times and had to walk to the corner market.
On the third trip, I remembered I needed baking soda. No reception at mekolet so can’t use google translate. Ask some women, סליחה אתן מדברות אנגלית?״”
They did, and they helped me find baking soda (which here only comes in little packets for some reason I don’t yet understand).
I’m then in line in between two older women with an armful of baking soda packets. The man at the checkout, who knows me and sees me almost every day, third time today, looks at me and laughs and says “מה שלומך? הרב זמן” and then he turns to the two older women and says
פגשתי אותה ביום הראשון שלה בקיבוץ
היא עולה חדשה
[ the women “וואו וואו” which I always think sounds like English “why why”]
The man continues:
היא לא דיברה עברית בכלל
To which I replied:
אני עדיין לא ממש מדברת עברית בכלל
And we all laughed.
And then the women asked me where I lived in the kibbutz, said how great it was that I made aliyah and lived here in the north.
And then…they all complimented my Hebrew. Proud, grinning, walk home in the sun with the sounds of booms and helicopters and children playing.
I love my kibbutz, and my life here, I am so grateful for every day, even in a war. Maybe especially in a war.
Baking brownies for the soldiers at the gate.
