Shalom from Jerusalem, where we had a great and relaxing Shabbat of a different sort... We walked all over the city, from Nachlaot where our apartment is to the Ramah Day Camp to Hartman to YMCA for lunch and back to the apartment, and then tonight out to Ben Yehuda street as Jerusalem came alive after Shabbat.
It's late and we have an early morning getting the kids off to camp, but I needed to share this great anecdote. The boys are in bed talking quietly; it's super late and I should tell them to be quiet, but they're sharing the Hebrew they learned as we walked and talked, and Lys and I just can't bring ourselves to tell them to stop!
Afo atah gar? Where do you live?
Yesh lanu dira b'Nachlaot. (We have an apartment in Nachlaot.)
Aich omrim...? (How do you say...?)
Ma zeh...? (What is this...?)
Sababa! (Awesome!)
Nachon. (Correct)
Ani lo yodea. (I don't know)
And on and on... We've been here for 28 hours, and I already feel like a part of our work here is done!
Lailah tov and shavua tov,
Joel
