The past few weeks have been such a whirlwind. The Jewish holidays were really wonderful and very special- and so nice for Evan not having to work. A few highlights of our last few weeks to get you up to speed:
*Friends visiting. We've been so lucky to have so many friends visit with us over our first 3 months here. In September, Stephanie and Steven (Steph worked with Evan at Central), visited and stayed with us. Check us out below in our all-white gear for Yom Kippur. Steph and Steven are living in London so it was great comparing our experiences living and working abroad. Then Becca's parents were here- Abbe and David (see picture)- who now we consider not as Bec's parents but as our friends! We had so much fun with them at Rosh HaShana and Yom Kippur and more. W
e also had Michele and Ira here for a lovely evening on our mirpesset (balcony).*Israeli friends - We reconnected with Aya and Elezar, our Israeli friends from Eisner Camp and the newest member of their family - their daughter Yarden who is 6 weeks old and so very cute. Elezar invited us to his parents succah in the Old City which was quite an experience. More about that in a bit. We also saw our Israeli friends from Kibbutz Yagur when they visited Jerusalem and they came to hang with us also on our mirpesset (it's the place to be!). In this picture you'll see Evan with Madene and Iftach (his host family) and Miriam and Mody (my host family) with our laundry hanging in the background!
