Shabbat Shalom

B"H

Actually I would love to stay in Tel Aviv for Shabbat and walk over to Bnei Brak in order to see a great Tish at Vishnitz tonight. They are in the middle of the "Sheva Berachot" after the wedding the day before yesterday.

However, I am going to Jerusalem this afternoon and will spend Shabbat in Mea Shearim.

Although Israel needs plenty of rain, rain on Shabbat is always a kind of a pain, as then you are stuck. The Halacha forbids us using an umbrella on Shabbat and the best we can do is wearing a raincoat.

And, Baruch HaShem, it is raining this weekend. It has already started last night and Tel Aviv is flooded. Windy, cold and rain showers - this is the weather forecast until Sunday.

Have a great Shabbat, Shabbat Shalom - Gut Schabbes and Chodesh Tov, have a great new month of Adar !

    Soon, many Rebbes from Mea Shearim and elsewhere are going abroad having their summer vacation. I think that this Shabbat may be the last "big" one before they take off.

    Basically just follow the crowd. Many people just turn up on Erev Shabbat and walk from synagogue to synagogue.

    You should be dressed modestly and always ask for the women'e entrance to the synagogue.
