Aryeh loves music and he plays the base. Every now and then, he gets together with his friends for a "jamming session" where they all get together and play their instruments. Aryeh invited me to join them to one of the sessions they were having in the Kibbutz.
The Kibbutz are communities that mix the ideals of socialism and Zionism. It's communal type living, where people have their own houses, but there are also common living spaces (like a kitchen and dining room). A bunch of Aryeh's friends came to the jamming session and they were all Israeli. Although some of them made an effort to speak to me in English, they were all speaking Hebrew amongst themselves. I couldn't really contribute to the conversation except for the occasional smile and nod.
The music they played was amazing and even though I didn't understand anything that was going on in terms of their conversation, I got to enjoy the music. They played some Israeli music and it was all in Hebrew. Sounded great.
I feel privileged to have been exposed to yet a little bit more Jewish culture.
