We finally made it to Jerusalem on Friday before Shabbat.
Of course our leaders sent us into the “Shook” or the market. We have never experienced something like this, a strong Jewish presence all finding their way around the market quickly so that they can make it home before sunset. Certainly for those of us who have lived in Saint Louis all of our lives we have never experienced such a volume of people all preparing for a shabbat dinner like this.
This was truly Israeli at it’s best, going back into time and going back toward family and our restful shabbat.
