i just awoke from the deepest nap ever, to an exquisite guitar serenade and the wafting aroma of steak and onions.
this is friday afternoon at my friend hermie’s place in nachlaot.
this morning, i awoke early to cab it from the old city to a soup kitchen on the other side of town near the shuk. a group of of about ten people from isralight came as well as my friend, yosef dovid.
we went to hazon yeshaya, a center that provides food for low- income people and holocaust survivors around israel. when we arrived, the kitchen was overflowing with volunteers. despite the crowd, the managers put half of us in the kitchen; the other half of the group was sent to the storage room to organize. i was in the latter group and we made a clean sweep of the room by unloading boxes, organizing shelves of food and cleaning the floor.
by 11 am, our group finished up and we headed to the shuk for a tour of the nachlaot neighborhood with reb mottle. at the end of the tour, i stopped by hermie’s place, where i promptly took an hour nap.
*yawn* good times. this shabbos we’ll be in the old city @ isralight, the last one of the program. more on the experience soon… i’ll try my best to post in chronological order fro now on!
