Shabbat Shalom

שבת שלום
Shabbat Shalom!

My first shabbat in Jerusalem was great. Friday during the day Rachel and I explored the old city. We went to the Kotel and wandered around the Jewish quarter and then found our way to the Arab market! It was alot of fun! We got some good deals. I got this amazing tapestry for my wall! It was originally going to be 275 shekels but I got it down to 130!!! Then we came back and got ready for Shabbat! We went to this shul called Kol Hanishma which is a progressive synagogue. It was a really really nice service. Then we headed back (it was in the German colony which is about a 10 min cab ride) to the regency hotel where the OSA had a dinner for us! It was sooo nice and yummy. Rachel and i actually sat with some Asian students... it was quit interesting to find out why of all places they would come to Israel to study... then we went back the the dorm and hung out with people on our floor and talked the night away! it was very nice and relaxing... now i am sitting at aroma because we still don't have Internet!!!! later tonight I'm going to go to the mall to finish getting stuff we still need for the kitchen!
L'heit!
