Binyamin comes for a visit

Binyamin and Talia

Binyamin and his father Yitzy came to Israel for an end of the summer trip.

Abba was actually the first to see Binyamin. When Abba showed up at the Bostoner Rebbe's for work one morning, Binyamin was sitting at the dining room table. It seems Yitzy remembered R' Mayer from his yeshiva days at Sha'arei Yerushalayim, when they used to rent space at the Boston Shul. While the Rebbe was talking with Yitzy, Abba took Binyamin for a tour of Har Nof, including Derech Etz Chaim, Ezra's old school and the candy store.

Later in the week, on their way back from the Dead Sea and Masada, Binyamin and Yitzy stopped of at our home in Mitzpeh for a shower and dinner. Yitzy got a chance to catch up on his e-mails while Binyamin had a chance to play and shmooze with his cousins. After hotdogs, french fries and Maariv at Yagel Yaakov, Binyamin and Yitzy headed back Yerushalayim.
