Rafi insists that he was not sleeping…ok, maybe he was just resting his eyes, Stacey & Bashe enjoyed a nice nap.

Dinner in Talpiot, a Jerusalem neighborhood, lots of locals and and a wonderful Israeli restaurant, Zion Hagadol. Our dinner of beef and chicken skewers, included 14 salads, side orders and soft delicious pita!SAM_3489

We’re having a great time, tomorrow will be our last day before traveling home.

We’ll spend the day in the old city, the Machaneh Yehuda market, pray at the Kotel and finish with the spectacular light show at the Tower of David.

We’ll be sad to leave and happy to return to our wonderful family and B’nai Tikvah community.

L’hitraot from Jerusalem,

Cantor Bruce, Stacey, Bashe and Rafi (he IS sleeping now)
