On Thursdays, I take an Anthropology class about Jewish culture. This is a really interesting class because we get to learn about different Jewish communities all over the world! We have this class all day and it's always separated into parts. So this past Thursday we learned about German Jews pre-World War II and then after lunch we learned about the Italians!!!! We went to an Italian synagogue/museum and we met there an Italian Chef named Gionathan who taught us all about the Jewish community in Italy through food. He was such a funny man because he has this thing where he just bursts out in Opera at random moments (aka mid-sentence). He also brought us delicious food such as pizza and two different kinds of pesto: basil and dried tomatoes. YUMMMMM
After, we went to the Museum part of the synagogue and saw their still functioning synagogue which is BEAUTIFUL (all real gold) and we saw different artifacts that the Italians brought to Jerusalem with them. According to our teacher, they were very rich and had no problem showing it off! My kind of people... hehehe just kidding
