A day in the life

Ever wonder what we do all day here on the Kibbutz Chadar Ochell? Here is a seder yom (order of the day) for a typical seder (day) on Workshop, along with some commentary.

9:00 - Kima (Wake up)

9:15 - Aruchat Boker (Morning meal)
Served buffet style. They have yet to add any new fixin's to the omelette bar despite my request; so much for Habonim Dror's pillar of actualization!

10:00 - Avodah (Farming)
It's hard to get plants to grow in sand, but we make it work.

10:30 - Kibbud (Snack)
A well-deserved break from a morning of labour.

10:45 - Peulot (Debates)
A heated battle of wits. The best debaters get to go to Veida for the championship.

12:30 - Aruchat Tzohorayeem (Afternoon meal)
If you thought the choices at the omelette bar were disappointing, don't even get me started on the lunch time panini bar!

1:15 - Zman Balagan (LARPing time (Live Action Role Playing time))
The most beloved time of the day here on Workshop. I posted a picture of us LARPing earlier in the blog, hopefully I'll have some more pictures soon.

2:30 - Zman Habonim (Habonim time)
A structure for a validating process of values.

 3:15 - Kibbud Dos (Second snack)

3:30 - Zman Languages (Language time)
You get a choice between Hebrew, Yiddish and Esperanto lessons.

4:30 - Zman Chofshi (Free time)

6:30 - Aruchat Erev (Evening meal)
I don't want to be too negative, but don't think I haven't realized it's just the same four desserts alternating on a four day cycle!

7:15 - Tochnit Erev (Evening entertainment)
An elaborate activity run for the Workshoppers by the Kibbutzers with costumed characters, skits and activities, always ending with some educational message. 

9:30 - Lila Tov (Sleep)


So that's the schedule for most days on Workshop, unless we go on a field trip, like one of our many Menchie's runs. Other Workshoppers may offer a different interpretation of what we do when messaging their friends and families, but this blog will always have unbiased, reliable information.

It's time for dinner, so bye for now.
