I met with Moshe at Cafe Cafe on Emek Refaim after a phone conversation in Hebrew that ended in a dead battery. I surprised myself. Even though I am devoting this year to combating discrimination and stereotypes, I found myself judging Moshe. He is a very intelligent man, earning his degree at Hebrew University in psychology. I figured that someone with such an education would have pretty solid English. Moshe worked through our conversation, occasionally switching back into Hebrew for a full sentence or two. I could understand him perfectly well, but I was surprised at how surprised I was that he didn't speak fluently.
We discussed the program with Moshe, and Elyssa and I will begin next week volunteering after school from 2:00-5:00 with a group of 5th and 6th graders.
