Hammering the nails
Cutting the neighbor’s bamboo
Tivnu, wilderness Jews
We pickled the cukes
And even some carrots too
Vinegar, we smile
Cornbread and chili
What a festive Sukkot meal
Beneath a star-filled sky!
Chia pets in pots
Decorate the pets with paint
Watch them sprout oh my
We are now interns
We work and at night we play
Adulting is hard
I cut my hair off
I then put it in a bowl
Hair was composted
A sunny day out
Sitting with friends in the park
Art, books, and laughter
Carrots are crunchy
Just like we are at Tivnu
Baking lots of cake
