Gavriel in Israel

Two days ago we went and bought almost all of our school supplies, except for books and some other stuff.  It feels like Harry Potter, having a book list and going to the mall to buy everything from certain stores.  In Israel, there are different school notebooks with different numbers of lines on each page.  I needed 14 line notebooks.  I thought it was weird.  We thought that if we had also bought school books, our load would be twice as heavy.  My brother has the most school supplies, but I have more school books.  Here you have to buy your own books for everything.  We have to bring our own siddurim, we don't get them from the school like at PJA.  In school my class is going to be studying Shmuel aleph.  I am excited.  

Signing off,
