pupils in Poland
Dear Penpal,
My name is Joshua Kalaf. I am eleven years old. I live in Israel
in a moshav called Givat Koah. I live with my parents and my
younger brother Adam. I also have two older sisters, Danielle
and Raquela. Do you have any brothers or sisters? I am in 6th
grade and I go to Bene Atarot School. I really like sports. I am
on a basketball team. I also like to play the guitar. What are
your hobbies?
Israel is a really interesting place to live. It is very small, but it
has so many great places, such as Jerusalem. Jerusalem is a
really interesting place because it full of famous historical
sites, like the Cotel, which is the remainder of our temple.
There are a lot of other great places in Israel like Eilat, the
Kineret and the Dead Sea. You should really come to visit.
Please write back.
Sincerely,
Joshua Kalaf
