Ocupados y felices en “La Ciudad de la Furia”









 Cena de bienvenida en “nuestro” barrio, San Telmo, uno de los más antiguos de la ciudad. 



Camino a “La Boca” en transporte público (más eficiente que en el pasado)



Ya en La Boca, vemos a los muchachos en “La Bombonera”, el icónico estadio de Boca Juniors (donde Maradona empezó a fascinar al mundo con su talento futbolero, sus opiniones controvertidas, y su vida privada escandalosa)

Estallido de color y muchas sonrisas en este barrio de origen humilde, que hoy es un innegable polo turístico.


A estos dos los vamos a ver jugando pronto en Boca ⚽️

Con Julia, nuestra extraordinaria guía, una afroargentina judía, digna representante de la interesante (y complicada) historia de esta ciudad tan fascinante como difícil de entender.

Aparentemente Jorge/George ya abrió su boutique en la zona más exclusiva de Buenos Aires 😊

Aprendiendo a repulgar/cerrar empanadas con Rodrigo, un psicólogo y antropólogo devenido a chef, ahora dueño del muy socialmente comprometido restaurante “El Santa Evita”





Si el español les resulta ajeno… ¿Qué mejor oportunidad para pedirles a los chicos que les traduzcan?

Above and beyond (All we needed was love… And we were showered with it!)

We started the day celebrating Beckett’s B’day!  (Last night  we also congratulated him immediately after midnight!) 👇 A much needed fantastic  breakfast to start our first day in Córdoba. 👇 Welcome lunch at Macabi 👇 Rikudim (traditional Jewish dance) & soccer: the girls beat the boys 3-0 (Lilie and Evelyn scored!) Move over, Messi! After a phenomenal day of great food, group dancing, and friendly competition, each student left Macabi with their hosts. Stay tuned for updates on our first day of school tomorrow, and our kids’ first impressions.

Students’ Voices

 Overwhelmed by love: Even though Profe Levin “warned” us of the compassionate welcome we would receive, we were surprised by the warmth. We are treated as friends :) We enjoyed learning line dances to traditional Hebrew music and playing fútbol. Evelyn, Kate, Ariely, Jesse Our first night with our hosts, the boys headed over to Fede’s house (one of the hosts), where they listened to Argentinian music, drank Cocacola, and ate popcorn - a favorite snack of the hosts. Others walked around the neighborhoods of the hosts and got coffee and pastries. At dinner, which is typically around 9:00 pm, everyone feasted on some form of beef.
