This past Shabbat we spent our time in Jerusalem. It was so beautiful there. I don't think I've ever been there when it was so warm. We started shabbat by singing together at the hostel we were staying at, and then we walked together to the Kotel. For many people it was their first time in Jerusalem and at the Kotel and it was so special to see the amazing connection they had there. On Saturday morning I went to a chabad shul will a few friends. It made me feel at home to be able to use the same siddur in Jerusalem that I use at my Chabad Shuls in boston. The service was very lively and moving. Attached is a picture of the window that was right next to my bed at the hostel we stayed at in Jerusalem. Saturday night we did Havdalla on a beautiful balcony the overlooked Jerusalem. I couldn't take a picture because the flash ruined the lights. I took a video which I will attach later. Enjoy!
