Kfar/Kvar Shabbat

As the struggle between Bezeq and our apartment continues (maybe---just maybe---it will be resolved in the morning), I'm now at a cafe with wireless Internet in the Kfar.

Last night, after venturing northward down a hill to a nearby synagogue, we hosted quite the potluck dinner in our kitchen area: There were 18 guests and three of us from the apartment.

Our main task had been to prepare an ample supply of schnitzel for the gathering, and I dare say that we were successful (three packs of chicken and two hours later), despite the occasional consequences of certain logistical setbacks that we may have incurred during the frying process.

The rest of Shabbat was very pleasant and quite restful. In the afternoon I made it two synagogues, one Ashkenazic and one Sephadic, for minchah and ma'ariv respectively, and lacking a proper havdalah candle, we improvised just a bit and did a havdalah of sorts a little while ago.

We have ulpan tomorrow (Sunday) morning. (Go Israel.) It'll probably remind me of this.

  1. Woah, saw that Ilana wrote a comment and I got very very confused. Then I realized that it's Gatoff! Girrrl, how weird are my Brandeis bffls?

    Hilda I'm sure you made a great baalat habayit. You make me proud.
