Today we went to Tel Aviv. We had the most insane sherut driver, being the last group to leave we arrived there first and i think my insides had their calisthetics for the year! We got there and stopped for food so that Ben and Jeremy could eat. Raina and I joined them. Afterwards we walked around Nachalat Benyamin which is a big arts fair they have every Tuesday and Friday. I bought a beautifully framed bouquet of pressed flowers btwn two panes of glass. We walked around and saw lots of neat things including a man doing work with glass to make little figurines. Had to help find the boys white long sleeve shirts for the Great Synagogue Men's Choir, an adventure in itself. We walked around the market place and saw lots of stuff, will have to go back. We all came back exhausted, and some how I ended up with the same Sherut driver (OY!).

On the way home I ran into Debby Jacoby-pessar and Rabbi Ruben, will stop by and visit them on Shabbat and pick up my stuff. Raina and i in a tired blur got our apartment ready to have Ben, Jeremy, Heather, and Nathaniel over for shabbat dinner. I took a power nap and then went with Rollin and Adam to Kol Haneshama after my inspiration to check out the service on Friday. Was really nice, will have to come back again when I can get here on time to hear Kabbalat Shabbat.

Dinner was lovely, Ben crashed on our couch, reminds me of my brother Ben at home who couldnt make it through shabbat dinner without falling asleep on the couch in the living room!
