Shalom family and friends,
We are writing this entry at 2:30 a.m., 30 minutes away from Buckeye football kickoff. That's right, thanks to modern day technology, for the right price and a major sacrifice of sleep, we can watch the game live on ESPN Gameplan. We are so die-hard! Well...we also don't have school tomorrow since it is a holiday and we gain an hour of sleep because we changed our clocks back tonight (so, for the Ohioans, its only a 6 hour time difference until you change your clocks in a few weeks).
Unlike our past entries, we don't have any exotic trips to tell you about, nor any breathtaking photos. I mean everyone has to take a break from the high-life once in a while, right?
Matt has been very busy with his studies and High Holy Day choir reharsals/performances and I have been hanging tight until after the Holidays, in which I will have a better idea of what I will be doing for the rest of the year (other than vacationing and living the life).
We hosted our first Shabbat dinner together at our apartment this past Friday night. We had 17 people over for dinner! It was a wonderful evening. I even made lasagna for the first time and it was delicious! Below are before-and-during pics from the evening, along with some cute Mitzi pics (just for fun)!
A few days following Yom Kippur comes Sukkot and the students get a week-long vacation. We are traveling with 5 other friends to the Dead Sea for 3 days. We are very excited to get away to this part of the country. It seems all of Matts classmates (Matt included!) are ready and very much looking forward to this break. One of the highlights on the Dead Sea itinerary is a Sunrise David Broza concert on Massada (for those who are not familiar with David Broza, he is a very popular, mainstream Israeli musician.) He is well-known for these sunrise concerts, gates open at 2:30am. We will take a cable car up to the top of Masada and watch the sunrise to amazing music. We will be sure to take lots of pics and post them along with the details of our vacation.
We both wish all of you a very happy and healthy New Year.
We miss you all very much!
Love,
Erin & Matt

Erin,
You an Matt did a great job on the Shabbat dinner. I'm so proud of you. Feel free to take over the holidays when you get back home!
Happy New Year. Do they have video recorders in Israel? Then you'd be able to keep a normal schedule, although it's probably not as much fun.
Love,
Aunt Sandie
