Thousands o f years ago, Hebrews had<br />
wandered out of the desert and began<br />
terrace farming in the location we today<br />
call Sataf.<br />
Over the past four years the JNF has<br />
begun to re-establish sites such as Sataf.<br />
With the help of students from the One<br />
Year Program, this site has begun to grow<br />
again. We rebuilt the terrace, cleared the<br />
land and planted crops. We felt like<br />
Chinese rice farmers in the process, with<br />
the mud up to our ankles.<br />
It felt good planting crops in the same<br />
site that our ancestors founded and began<br />
to farm thousands of years ago.<br />
The Student Committee<br />
As the year draws to its close w e’d like to remember a part of the OYP that some of you still don’t know<br />
about. That’s right. Those people that were involved in your parties, volunteer committees, newspaper, baseball<br />
games and all the other little tidbits often taken for granted. Need we say more? We are speaking of the infamous<br />
student committee.<br />
We had a lot of fun planning all those<br />
events... too bad you couldn’t make it. And<br />
how about that New Year’s Eve bash?<br />
We’re still not sure whether the hangovers<br />
were from the cheap alcohol, the “full<br />
steak dinner” or the Lubavitcher band.<br />
Truthfully, the parties were alot of fun...<br />
whether we danced through the decades (in<br />
a sweatbath), introduced the winter ulpan<br />
to the summer ulpan (too bad everyone<br />
was too cliquey to mingle), showed off our<br />
talents in our togas (for those of us who<br />
managed to keep them on) or whatever.<br />
Partying will never be the same without our<br />
fellow OYPers.<br />
