Today my life just feels like a balagan (chaos). The workers doing construction on Keren Hayesod which is outside my window were working there all night. I got woken up at 4 in the morning to them working. I therefore did not sleep very well. I put one ear plug in so that I could still hear my alarm when it went off this morning. Well I overslept it and did not wake up until Rachel A. called to tell me she was running late. OY....flew out of bed, put on some clean clothes and grabbed a cab to Pardes for our second meeting of the Jerusalem Leadership Institute, a group of Anglo Jews interested in learning about and with other Jews from all backgrounds.

Ran home grabbed some lunch and made shabbat dinner plans. Going to Kedma a egalitarian minyan that meets in the German Colony. They are eco friendly so I have to bring my own dishes, etc. Cut up a watermelon to share! Actually dont feel to excited for shabbat this week sadly because i have just been in a rush to do so much but at the same time the restful time is welcome!
