Allison in Israel







This past week has been so fun and relaxing. Allison arrived Monday and left tonight:-(
But we got to spend a very nice week together. Some of our "Chai-lights" included:
-Walking around/shopping in the Old City
-Taking Allison to services at school and to Liturgy class on Thursday
-Going to Beit Ticho with Allison for lunch and enjoying the beautiful garden
-Shabbat services at the Great Synagogue with the beautiful music
-Shabbat dinner at our apartment with Allie, Ally, Allison, Rachel, Albert, and Ethan
-Interseminary bar night with other Jewish Seminary students in Jerusalem
-Going to the Shuk on Friday morning to prepare for Shabbat
-Lots of cooking!
-Kickball game for Lauren's bday on Shabbat

I am so sad that Allison is leaving, but excited for her to come back to Jerusalem on Thursday to hear me read Torah at services! I have a very busy next few weeks ahead. The Duma Election simulation is on Monday. Israeli Rabbinic Ordination is on Friday and so each afternoon this week is filled with different speakers from the states. Finals and midterms are approaching, lots of papers, readings, projects, etc.
