Now that Rachel is in Medical School in Israel, Aunt Merril brought Jessica and Grandma Libby to visit. They spent a few days based in Tel Aviv, but then came to Yerushalayim for Shabbos and the last few days of their trip.
We joined them, Uncle Eliezer and his family and Cousin Lara for Shabbos at the Sheraton Plaza Hotel (Newly renamed the Leonardo Hotel) on King George Street in Jerusalem
It was wonderful to spend time together. The meals were nice and we tried our best to have a family Shabbos meal in the giant ballroom. (This picture is not from the Shabbos, but Elazar just looked cute so we stuck it in)
We went to the Shabbos Park in Rechavia on Ramban street with Ezra, Elazar, Abba, Aunt Merril, Jessica, Aunt Basheva, Esti, Tova and Aliza (sorry no pictures available due to the Sabbath)
After Shabbos Grandma wanted to "check out the action at Ben Yehuda", so Ezra, Elisheva, Abba, Rachel, Jessica, Merril, Lara accompanied them. The Beitar Gerstens had to go home and Ima went home with Elazar.
Ezra was easy to find in the crowd with his bright green sweater. He practiced his frog jumps and Rachel did a good job playing catcher.
Then the kids were treated to some ice cream at Katzefet (formerly known as Fro Yo). Ezra and Elisheva were shivering, but it was all worth it.
