Shabbat in Jerusalem
We had a lovely Shabbat in Jerusalem. We went to daven (pray) at Shira Hadasha, an Orthodox synagogue where both men and women lead services (although sit separately) and join together in harmonious singing, meaningful prayer, hospitality, and social activism. We have many friends who participate regularly and we felt at home there. We enjoyed Shabbat meals with several of Ariele and Avrami's friends.
All of us watched the sun go down near our favorite spot on Yemin Moshe, as we counted the 3 stars that signal the end of Shabbat. Ariele and Avrami made plans with some friends to go out for coffee and once they left, we took the children on a night-time walk to the nearby park, then out for popsicle treats. What fun to have an evening escapade! We returned for showers and a story and the kids fell asleep before their parents returned....
