North Korea

Hello to all of my readers,

Today I would like to write about North Korea. 

Recently I have read an article about a man named Sheen Dong Hoyk, a North Korean man who managed to escape from camp 14, the force camp in which he and his family were born and lived.

People live there in horrifying conditions that do not enable proper living or living at all. Those people are treated like animals, if not worse. 

North Korea is a dictatorial state in which whoever dares to say something bad about the government is sent to the force camps, in which they are tortured and forced to work 24/7 for a little quantity of food. Sheen managed to escape after an educated man named Park arrived to the camp. The two of them had to work together and they became friends. Park was telling Sheen about all the things they were missing, and so they decided to run from the force camp, a crime which is paid with death.

One cold night they decided that this was the night, they ran towards the fence. Park was first. The second his body touched the fence he was electrocuted to death. Sheen, who didn't know right from wrong, used his 'friend's' body  to pass through a hole Park's body created when it electrocuted. 

Out in the world Sheen saw things he couldn't even imagine. He saw the profusion and was amazed.

Sheen Dong Hoyk is a lucky man, but not like him there are so many people who live in North Korea in the force camps and fight for their lives every single day. They are humiliated by the soldiers and tortured just for fun, and no one gets involved, no state activates for a change, and stops this horror. 

This situation reminds me a lot of the situation in the holocaust 70 years ago, in which it took a lot of time for the states around to get involved. These situations prove the thing that none of us wants to admit, ant that is that each and every one of us takes care only for himself and does not activate too quickly if it doesn't concern him directly. 

The Holocaust Memorial Day

Hello to all of my readers, 

Today I would like to write about the Holocaust Memorial Day. 

About a week ago we notified the Holocaust  Memorial Day, in which we dedicate our thoughts to the poor 6,000,000  Jews who were murderd during the holocaust only because of their religion  and beliefs.

In 1933 Adolf  Hitler was democratically chosen to be the prime minister pf Germany. After world war 1 the condition in Germany wasn't good. Hitler promised his nation that he would make things better and improve the poor economical situation and also "clean" his country from the inferior race. 

When he was elected he started to throw sanctions on the Jews. He forbid them to get into a movie theater, go to the public park or ride the tram. The sanctions became worse and worse and then, in 1939 Germany started to conquer the states around and in each state they conquered they caged the Jews in ghettos. 

For 5 and a half years the Nazis massacred the Jews as if they were animals. 

Finally, in 1945 the war ended, the Natis were defeated by the Russians and the Jews got free.

 Every year, when the holocaust Memorial Day comes I can't stand the thought about those poor people. I keep thinking about how unfair all of this was and about these brave, lucky people who did manage to survive those horrors and to continue with their lives. I know they are scarred forever, literally, but they are the proof that a man can rise from the ashes and build a life even after this kind of disaster. 

Purim

Purim is great holliday which i love to celebrate both at school and outside.

Every year at school the kids come dressed up with their costumes. 

Later each class gathers, tells about their costumes and the kids exchange their package delivary With each other. 

Then we go outside and enjoy the activities. Every year the school brings  food booths and photographers to capture the moments. 

There's also a custome compatiton and the winner gets a prize. 

Every year the kids from th12th grade dress up together and decorate the school to match their custome, for example, this year the 12th graders dressed up as smurfs and decorated the school like the smurfs' village. In the middle of the festival they entered the school and danced around. All of the kids watched at them and were impressed by the custome. 

This year I have dicited to drees up as Pocahontas with a friend of mine, we both tied ribbons on our foreheads and bracelates and accessories which matched the custome's idea. 

What I love about Purim is the preparations towards the school's festival/

The Camp

On passover vacation i went to camp on behalf of  'Bne HaMoshavim'  with my friends.

On friday morning on 6:40 a.m. we got on the bus and drove to Haruvit forest.

There we walked in a beautiful trail for a very long time.

In the afternoon we arrived to the place we were staying at. 

In the next morning we got up and did a trail on which we naigated on our own.

On the way we stopped in stations and prformed missions. It was a lot of fun.

In the night we went to an observance which concluded all those two days and stressed the message of the trip which was to keep our planet clean and well preserved.  

On the third and last day we went on a bicycle trip around Hruvit forest. We got to see the view wich was stunning. By noon we got on the buses and went home.

The trip was a lot pf fun and I liked it a lot.  

The massacre in 'Sandy Hook' school

Hello to all of my readers,

Today I would like to write about the massacre at 'Sandy Hook' school in Newtown, Connecticut.

At 9:30 in the morning Adam Lanza came into 'Sanby Hook' school and started shooting people around.

 He killed 20 children and 6 adults and then himself.

All of America was shocked by the fact that someone could kill 26 people without any reason.

When I read the articles and saw it on the television I was shocked as well. I couldn't believe that someone was able to do such a cruel thing. Killing 26 innocent people over nothing is unforgiveable.

When the president of the United States, Barak Obama, spoke about the incident he cried.

I think about those miserable families whose lives are ruined because of this man who killed their children over nothing.

This is a heartbreaking story and I hope we won't have to hear about things like that any more.

Masterchef

Hello to all of my readers, today I would like to write about the reality show 'Masterchef'.

 

Masterchef is a television show  that takes amateur cooks with love to food and turns them into professional cooks.

In this season there is a variety of people and cultures. This season combines people who came from many places around the world, not like in the sesons before.

I think this is very nice to see how each person cooks and how he brings his own world into the dish.

There is an Arabic woman, a French woman, a christian German man who converted to Judaism, a religious woman, a vegan and so many more.

Every tome I watch the program I become hungry because the dishes look very special and tasty.

I wish I could cook like those people.

My favorite candidate is Salma, the Arabic woman. I think she is very brave for going to the show, and she reprasents her sector and her kitchen very proudly. I admire her for her break through into the television.

 

 

  

   

Europa Park

Europa Park

Hello to all of my readers, today I would like to write about  my visit in the 'Europa Park' in the black fprest 

in Germany.    

On July 30th I flew to Germany with my family and with our friends. 

The black forest is n amazing place, everything is green and so pastoral. Our hotel was watching over a beautiful lake next to a pictureque town. 

On our first day we went to 'Eoropa Park', the most huge park in all over Europ. The park is devited to areas and wich area is a country wich is decorated like the country itself. 

The rollercoasters are the biggest and the most scary I have ever seen. 

All over the park there are mini pardes with all of the Disney charactors and they are walking aroud all of the time. Bsides, all of the workers, like the poeple in the fast food area are dressed up as well. 

All of these things make you fell like you are in a fairytale. 

The greatest most exciting rollercoaster I have done there was the 'STARLINE'. This rollercoaster is reaching 73 meters of hight and 150 kilometers per hour. I had a great time doing it!!!
