Shalom family and friends! I can't believe I have been in Israel for a week already! It was wonderful to be reunited with Matt and Mitzi (Matt even showed up to the airport with flowers)! Everything in Jerusalem is beautiful and I have enjoyed every minute I've been here. We have been so busy this week shopping, walking, shopping, walking, walking, walking.....my poor legs! Matt is used to it already, but I have a long way to go! He has been showing me around Jerusalem and has been an excellent tour guide. We have been to Beh Yehuda St (the street where everyone buys the crazy Hebrew t-shirts and souvenirs), the open-aired market A.K.A. the Shuk (where Matt has become an excellent bargainer), HUC campus (which is beautiful), the Old City, and yesterday we went with two couples to the beaches of Tel Aviv. Matt has had a week "vacation" following his intensive Hebrew course (and his hard work shows as he gets us around Jerusalem with his Hebrew) and Sunday he starts his full load of classes. I have slowly started to meet all his classmates and spouses and everyone seems wonderful. Tonight we are going to services and then to couple's apartment for Shabbat dinner. This week, I will start to figure out my plans for the next 9 months.
Our goal is to make these blog entries a regular occurrence, but bare with us as Matt begins his crazy schedule. We love you and miss you all! Enjoy the attached photos under this article. Included are pics from the Kotel, Max Brenner Chocolate Bar in Tel Aviv where the entire menu is foods made out of chocolate (yes that is a chocolate hamburger), the beach in Tel Aviv, the Beautiful HUC campus, and of course our Mitzi.
Love,
Erin, Matt & Mitzi
We hope that everyone enjoys reading about our new adventures!
