Overheard @ Córdoba’s Airport



 Overheard at Córdoba’s airport…


From the Poly kids:


“I’m not gonna lie, I’m sad now…”

“I’ll work all summer so I can come back soon!”

“They gave me so much candy to bring on the plane!”

“My mom gave me all kind of alfajores to bring home, and also a mate!”

“XXX and their host even have a special handshake now”

”I scored the winning <gol> today!”

“I invited the whole family to visit us in California”

“We should start an <Argentina Club> at Poly”


From the hosting families:

“Thank you for giving us the best kid” (said by 15 different families 😊)


From the San Martín kids:

“We hope we can visit you soon”

“Are you going to drink mate back at school?”

“Have a great time in Buenos Aires, but don’t forget us!”

“This was the best week ever!”

Lovely quotes: "I’m not gonna lie, I’m sad now…” “I’ll work all summer so I can come back soon!” Sounds like the reunion is already being arranged:-) In following your blog, we can see that leaving Cordoba and your families was NOT easy. Huge thank yous to the families of Macabi Noar. I keep thinking about the rich times together as both student groups traveled to the concentration camp- so much to learn and so many perspectives/connections.

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. Further into the night, as things were winding down, many chatted with their hosts, played games (cards, Fifa, etc.), and reflected on the first exciting day in Argentina. - Grace, Milla, Brandon, and Beckett Today we toured downtown Córdoba. The church in the Plaza of San Martín had a neoclassical exterior but the inside had lovely rococo decoration. The stain
