Hi again!
This week we went to the wedding of a family member of a family friend of my father-in-law's. Confused? OK - the bride is the granddaughter of my father-in-law's friend. The groom is studying at the famous Merkaz HaRav. Both are Mexican (though the bride's family is from Argentina, hence the connection to Esther etc.) There were a lot of people there, mostly from Mexico -- I think we might have had the entirety of the orthodox community of Mexico there. The chuppa was nice, though the rabbi talked too long -- I'm used to short-and-sweet chuppot.
The next day (yesterday) was my father-in-law Victor's birthday - so we took him to the Israeli Wine Tasting Festival, held at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem. Interestingly, we met up with several people we knew from Maale Adummim, and also met the daughter of a long-time acquaintance from the US, who made aliyah a year or so ago. Daniela also met a couple friends of hers. And we got to try wines we might not otherwise have tried. Afterwards, we took him to dinner at Ticho House which I just found out is also associated with the Israel Museum. I think he had a good time; I know we did.
Esther, Daniela and Sarah went to the beach (at Rishon Letsion) one day. Esther enjoyed the beautiful Mediterranean, Sarah enjoyed the sun, and Daniela enjoyed the shade. Something for everyone. That day, Victor was visiting one of his friends, so they didn't have to worry about what to do with him at a women-only beach.

- Israel larger than galut

Until next week,
Shabbat shalom!
