B"H Did I mention Shabbas?

On Friday night we went Shul Hopping.  Bli Ayin Hora, My two oldest boys Yacov (5) and Ori (3) with Rabbi Cantorman, his twin boys (12ish) and brother in law Eli.  Asher Kaplan as well.  We went to one real nice quaint shul, where the davening sounded kind of like Chabad, and the Rabbi spoke a nice D'Var Torah rthat I barely understood.  A call was made to go to the Jerusalem Great Synagogue that is dedicated to those who perished in the Holocaust. (May Hashem Always remember their sacrifice).  The Shul had a beutiful male only choir that sang for a jam-packed audience of what appeared to be thousands.  Afterward, we were invited back to the Cantorman's (who live in our building) for our Friday Night meal and also, Thank-G-d Shabbas Day meal as well.  We didn't make it to shul Saturday day..a combination of jet lag and poor sleep due to the air conditioning issue addressed in an earlier post.  Our neigbors and landlord have showered us with gifts/Shabbas treats and we really feel at home.  We hope to have an oven soon, so that we will be able to invite others and share in the hospitality we have been receiving.
