HUC's Next Top Mohel (HNTM) is...


Allison Tick!


Wednesday evening we had an amazing Beit Cafe at school planned by the Kef (Fun) committee. They did a wonderful job from funny MC's, a summer slide show, decorations, and an incredible theme-HUC's Next Top Mohel. The Tzedek committee sold wine at the event with the proceeds going to Open House (Jerusalem's LGBT community center).

Four volunteers served as the contestants for HNTM (Ally Tick, Allie Harris, Natalie Davidowitz, and Marcus Rubenstein). The contestants had to soothe the baby, tell a joke, and finally demonstrate their technique. Everyone had a great time, and in the end Ally Tick won by applause.

While Ally is out right now, I'm taking over her favorite spot, our balcony and people watching a bit while enjoying the small breeze on this humid Friday afternoon. Last night we went out for our classmate's, Ari, birthday. Ally's Israeli cousin and friend came over to hang out before. They are so nice and I'm looking forward to seeing them again soon!

Tonight we are headed to Ramat HaSharon for Shabbat services and will be hosted by families for Shabbat dinner. The Mason's arrive on Sunday and Ally and I are looking forward to seeing them. We are down to our last week of summer session, 4 more days of ulpan, 1 day of cantillation and 1 more biblical archaeology tiyul on Thursday.


I'm going to go enjoy the rest of afternoon before Shabbat begins.


Shabbat Shalom:-)
