Hi everyone! Just a few updates for you from the Holy Land.
First, thank you for all the birthday wishes. Matt and I had a nice, relaxing evening and went to a great seafood restaurant, followed up by ice cream. He also came home from class with roses which was very sweet.
Also, some good news - I think I have managed to obtain a part-time job! I will be working for the World Union of Progressive Judiasm (WUPJ) helping them plan a huge convention that is coming here in March. Rabbis, lay-leaders and other BIPs (big important people) from all over the world will attend. I will mostly be dealing with their office in NY, hence why it is not an issue that I don't speak Hebrew. Its perfect for me because I love event planning and I think it will be a great experience. The pay is minimal, of course, but I think it will be a great project for me to work on. More on that once I start, which I think will be next week.
Matt continues to work very hard in school. His classes are going well. The work load is very heavy and there are no more breaks until the last two weeks of December. But he is learning a lot and soaking in as much as possible.
Tomorrow evening we are going to get the chance to spend Shabbat with fellow Akronites! The Akron Federation trip is here this week and they arrive in Jerusalem today. Mike Wise invited us to join them for Shabbat dinner at their hotel. I am looking forward to seeing everyone!
Our big 3-year anniversary is today! After Matt is done with class for the day and I am back from my afternoon outing at Mount of Olives, (as I mentioned at the beginning of this blog, once a month a rabbi at HUC takes the SO's on an outing to various historical sites. This afternoon is our second trip. I'm sure I will have more to say after I get back!) we will have dinner and gear up for our yearly tradition - watching our wedding video! Once a year, we pull out the dvd and watch all three hours worth of our fabulous day.
That's all for now. Keep in touch, we love getting your comments and emails!
Love,
Erin &Matt
