Friday: Our Own Little Music Service

Figuring correctly that we would be pretty exhausted from such a long flight followed by an equally long day of touring, I planned for an informal service for our group in the hotel. We used the Temple’s music service siddur, not because it was the third Friday of the month (which it was), but because the books were easy to pack in my luggage. There was great spirit to the service, but my favorite part was when we took the advice of Rabbi Golan from last month’s meeting and said our blessings for being in the land of Israel. Indeed, the group understood the true privilege it was to be here together.
