Pre and Post Shabbat Outings

In the midst of preparing for Shabbat, we went to a nearby bakery to buy challah. While out, we passed the weekly artisans' market. This time around, we sampled the wares of an Israeli vineyard, and even got to try some kosher port. On the way home, we stopped by a local wine store, and while we selected a bottle the owner came by with some samples, and we got to try a kosher champagne-like vintage called brut. Fun!

After Shabbat we walked to the Jerusalem theater, where as a part of the Israel Festival there was supposed to be an evening of free jazz. For some reason the band was playing Latin music instead, but we still had a lot of fun listening and watching the geriatrics spin around the dance floor.
