Our first night in Budapest. Tired and jet-lagged, we are all still so overjoyed to be here. We had expected to learn an immense amount about our partner teachers, our partner school, and Hungary, but I’m not sure we expected to learn so much about our Beth Tfiloh colleagues. Before the plane even took off from Washington, DC, we had a chance to laugh, bond, and learn about our peers.
Upon arrival in Budapest, we had had the chance to rest and recharge in the hotel, and then we had the pleasure of joining many of our partner teachers from Scheiber Sandor for dinner. It was a pleasure to meet for the first time in such relaxed and festive circumstances. Delicious food and wonderful company. Having had the opportunity to put faces to names and learn about our Hungarian colleagues, we left dinner feeling even more enthusiastic about starting our classes tomorrow, and so excited to see what the next few days bring.
Can’t wait to start teaching tomorrow!
