On Tuesday, I painted pottery with Nani. I know, not so culturally Jewish/Israeli on the surface but wait! You wouldn't believe what our options were of things to make. Our options included a kiddush cup (large or xlarge), a menorah, a seder plate, a hand washing jug, a mezuzah, and Shabbat candle sticks. Oh make-your-own Judaica. In case you're wondering, I made an extra large Kiddush cup. Perhaps I will post a picture after I reclaim it next week (but only if it's pretty!)
Also, on my bus ride home from work today, we got stopped at a construction site. Ahead of us was a construction worker kneeling for afternoon prayer on the pavement in the middle of the construction. We didn't have to stop for his praying...we had to stop because only one lane could get by at a time but as a byproduct, I got to witness his praying. This is a pretty neat place.
Speaking of neat, last week at my all women's gym, there was a sheitel hanging on the coat rack alongside some sweatshirts. Now that is NOT something I saw at my Boston Sports Club!
My best friend from Pinecliffe, Caryn, (see http://stuffjewishyoungadultslike.wordpress.com/2008/08/04/43-having-multiple-best-friends/), is visiting for two days starting tomorrow! She's been on Birthright and is extending her stay. I can't wait to show her around!

Will you make a piece of pottery for me to add to your collection at home from camp and nccs days? Wonder if there is ever any theft of sheitels when left hanging up! xoox
ReplyDeleteThink we could get that construction worker to
ReplyDeletecome to Brookline, MA.. at least I could have someone to pray with? That must have been a so unusual site and a good one too!
