Later that evening, the 350-member delegation of the UJA-Federation of Northern New Jersey invited us to join them at their reception at the Israel Museum. We began with a tour of the Jewish history and ritual section of the permanent exhibit. There I ran into several people I know, including State Assemblyman Gordon Johnson and his colleague, Englewood City Councilwoman Charlotte Bennett Schoen.
From the tour, we were led into a tent built for the occasion and heard the customary words of welcome and support. The emcee specifically welcomed Temple Emeth. We then had a yummy dinner, and though there was no dance floor, many of the participants began dancing between the tables. It was a great way to celebrate being in Jerusalem
