Micah Arnson-Serotta and I both work in the spool factory for our avodah (work) every Sunday morning. For the past few weeks we have been asked to screw on a bunch of washers and other screws onto these giant metal rods that are used to hold the tops and bottoms of the spools in place. We don't mind doing this since it's very easy, but we both would rather be doing more active, heavy duty work. We decided that we would ask our boss or one of the other guys working with us if we could do something different today. When we got to the spool factory, we were asked to screw on things onto the rods again (disappointment!). We figured that since we work on Sunday mornings, the first day of the work week, there isn't much else for us to do. However, after we were done with the giant metal rods, Baruch, one of the workers told us we could help him assemble the tops and bottoms of the wooden spools by hammering washers and screws onto them. We didn't even have to ask! We also got to use this drill-like device to secure them into the wood. It was really nice being able to do something different today and I'm really beginning to enjoy my avodah that Micah and I do.

Inside the spool factory, it's surprisingly very organized! All the different sized spools are grouped together.
I'm looking forward to a new week of Boneh. After a long, yet really fun weekend, I'm excited to be going back to our normal schedule of things. This upcoming weekend we will be going back to Kibbutz Ravid to participate in a Rabin seminar with our Southern hemisphere friends, the New Zealanders, Aussies, and South Africans. While I'm not too thrilled to be going back to Ravid, I'm looking forward to this seminar and all that I will have to blog about afterwards. Hope everyone back at home is doing well, I'll blog again soon, Naomi
