ta'aruvos test

wednesday started off like any other day, that is until i remembered that it was TEST DAY.

thank G-d i am not one to 'freak' over tests and therefor was not under too much stress. but as the day wore on and the tests were taking place - four guys at a time - the tension level rose.

one of the guys worried that he wouldnt pass took matters into his own hands by taking his own chavrusah (study partner) hostage. thankfully we had undercover members of the NYPD who where in place just in case such a situation took place. needless to say the situation was resolved but not without pumping some adrenaline back into the zal.

wednesday ended with all the guys passing and then it was off to thursday for my test. yippy what fun it was (especially when you are taking photos in middle - did that by all the test :D). thank G-d my chavrusah and i had studied long and hard and were able to put the Rabbi's mind to ease about us.

in short: WE PASSED!
