ZOO TIME

Guest Blogger: Bram

Today we had no tour. But instead we went to the Zoo and celebrated Shavuot. Lets begin first me and my brother Eli slept very late and then had some breakfast. So then we went outside and you see
the title ZOO TIME well here it goes. So when we went outside we got two cabs for all of us to go the ZOO when we
went in it was monkey mayhem monkeys here monkeys there monkeys jumping everywhere! There where howler monkeys all kinds of monkey and I,am serious!

Bram worked hard on his blog posting above and intended to write more but pleaded with me to finish up for him since he is very busy here in Jerusalem. Let's see. Shavuot. Lenore, Allen and Jodi went to services at Kol Haneshama, a progressive shul here which means that it's basically egalitarian conservative to those of us in the US. It was lovely until the folks from Storahtelling acted out the giving of Mt. Sinai all in Hebrew. Fascinating but we couldn't follow much. Back at the apartment the kids all slept in and finally caught up on sleep. Then it was off to the zoo which was great fun especially the Nikki sculptures we are posting pictures of and the boardwalk/safari section. Back to the apt then Jodi, Orly and Bram went off to meet our friends from Camp Ramah, our next store neighbors up there when we spent a month. Itzik, Yael, Noga and Shachar now have a new baby sister Roni. We got to see their very crowded playground in Talpiot and then walked over to the Haas promenade which had the most wonderful view of Jerusalem I've ever seen. Just beautiful. Back at the apartment we had a Shabbat dinner, played games, read and called it a night!
