Holidays

Holiday season is in full swing right now here in Jerusalem. We celebrated Ari's birthday with Gabi, who drove in special from Tel Aviv.

There were lots of honey sales all over. Rosh Hashana was beautiful but cold. Davenning was inspirational and the food was delicious! Bashi made cholent for Rosh Hashana and it came out great! Can't wait for you to come taste it! Yom Kippur is just around the corner, and Succot is right after that. Succahs are already popping up all over Jerusalem-quite a sight to behold! They are all different shapes, sizes and colors. In addition they are squeezed all over as there is not so much extra space in this city.


Har Nof (the neighborhood we live in) has such a pretty view, especially around sunset. You can see the Judean Hills. Har Nof consists of a few really big hills, so there are plenty of steps you need to climb to get basically anywhere, except from us to Jeff and Rachel. There are lots of families every where. It's nice living right next to the park and watching as the kids enjoy themselves.
There is another Rosen family in our building and our groceries got delivered to their front door last week. They were slightly confused as they were sure they had not ordered them, but we cleared up the matter quickly!
Yeshiva is going well for Ari. Just a few more days and then the Succot break starts, which lasts about two weeks. Bashi is working all over Har Nof, and loving it! Getting to meet lots of people and making new friends.
