Goodbye to Winter Semester Students, April 24, 2019

The final day for the students arrived on April 24, 2019.  They had to put all their bed linens in piles and clean their rooms of all garbage and set their packed suitcases up on the 8th floor.  I helped with room checkout, which was actually fun because I could compliment the students and say goodbye.  I was surprised at the mounds of linens, the difficulty packing (most students put it off until the last minute) and the fondness with which students said goodbye to me.  The students are the best part of being here in Jerusalem!
