A Wild and Crazy Week
Friday night services were great at our local synagogue although since I'm in the synagogue every Friday night at candle-lighting time, I never get to hear the sirens that announce that time throughout Jerusalem.
We had a wonderful Shabbat dinner at Jean's; her world-famous Chicken and Sausage Paella was outstanding. There were six of us there - it was a prefect evening of food, folks, and fun. Six is a great number for a great Shabbat. I just turned on the oven so Jen and I can heat up some leftovers.
Services this morning we pretty cool, too. There was a Canadian family having a Bar Mitzvah and the best part of the morning was that there were no speeches by the young man nor the parents.
On Tuesday we're moving so it's going to be a crazy week because without a car, we're going to have to walk our stuff to our new apartment over the course of several trips. So, we're going to go to Hebrew in the morning on Tuesday and then we'll have to miss class in the afternoon to move, one load at a time. We'll likely take about four trips to move and while the new place isn't too far, it's going to be annoying. We might break down and grab a cab.
Then, we're going to have to get everything ready for Thursday, which is the holiday of Tisha b'Av, which is a fast day so we have to be ready to eat in our new place Wednesday afternoon before the fast and we have to be ready to break the fast on Thursday night.
We expect to host a dinner ourselves on Friday night (hopefully with six of us) so all of Friday is going to be spent getting our new place ready and shop. We're going to try to go to the Shuk (outdoor marketplace) to get what we need for our new apartment right after we move in.
