Our first day at school started with the warmest welcome we could imagine. We got donuts and presents when we stepped into the building.
In the first period, we had davening. Most of us chose the alternative praying classes where after we said some of the basic prayers, we bonded with BT students. This was followed by a tour of the school. We learned a lot about the school and the system. It was really good to see that voluntary work and charity was such a big part of their everyday life at BT. Currently, students are being asked to bring their old shoes to school which will be given to kids in need.
We continued with a meditation lesson with Ms. Rochelle Sullivan, where we learned about stress, the impact that it has on our brain and we talked about how we can manage it. We also did different techniques for meditation and relaxation.
Our first period was with the students in fourth grade where we taught them different things about Hungary. We used different methods like board games and making origami. The kids were surprisingly clever, engaged and cooperative.
After lunch, we took a school bus and headed to downtown Baltimore where we visited the Jewish museum. We 
learned a lot about the history and we heard personal stories and experiences about the community. It was followed by a bus tour around the city.
We had a debriefing about the day which was followed by sports games.
After dinner we went home and basically fell into bed after this eventful and exhausting day.
