Just in the neighborhood...

Sorah Yitta and the kids happen to be in the neighborhood so they dropped by. Oh my how the kids have grown. We offered for them to join us for dinner, but they had already eaten at Jerusalem II down the block...

Even though Sorah Yitta and David live relatively close by in Ramat Beit Shemesh, it seems like ages since both families got together last.

Noam and Bayla Sima practiced their 'tango'

Devorah and Shaul entertained us with puzzling riddles

and Tzvikee enjoyed playing with Elazar and his toys

Just drop by anytime you're in the neighborhood...

Jessica Felber Comes for Shabbos

Jessica was in Israel this summer for a couple of months on a learning program. She has been staying in the Old City and commuting to Har Nof each day. She contacted us last week that she as "in town" so we invited her for Shabbos.


Jessica came on Friday afternoon bearing gifts of Marzipan and fresh cherries (much more Chasuv than the classic 'flowers' or 'bottle of wine'). As expected the kids pounced on her immediately and didn't leave her side the entire Shabbos. We went for a nice walk on Friday night after dinner. Jessica read books and played board games with the kids throughout Shabbos. She even taught them the 'finger' game and the 'cup on the table' routine.


Jessica is in Yerushalayim for another month or so and she promised us she would be back before heading back to California.
