Shabbat recap

Realizing we have been remiss in our search for the Perfect Fit shul, today we tried out the Late Minyan. Starting at 9:30 and ending at 11:30, this synagogue combines the best elements of North America (English and late starting time) and Israel (quick but pretty service, and a familial atmosphere). Jon found it tough to sleep in, being conditioned to wake up at 6 a.m., but Rina adored the possibility of making it to shul on time while still sleeping in.

In our chulent we tried cooking jachnun, albeit from the grocery store's freezer case. Jury is still out.

After havdallah we made our way to meet with Daniel Held, who is visiting on a C.H.A.T. trip, and some friends at Tmol Shilshom. We followed that up with pizza and hanging out in the lobby at his hotel. We're such delinquents.
