Well, it's Thursday afternoon here. Friday, Shabbat, Sunday (class again), Monday (last class for me) and then 5 AM Tuesday morning leaving Tel Avia (Ben Gurion airport) and I'm back on the plane to the States later that day.
I appreciate being in touch via email and some phone calls. The phone calls from my ATT cell phone (airport in Milan and airport in Tel Aviv) were non-issues - $1.29/minute - and my calls were just a minute or two. Quite a surprise, but still not the low 11 cents/minute that my Israeli phone costs when calling the States.
The big event when I return home (besides resting and reorienting and a month of mail at home and the office!!) will be A.J. Swartz's Bar Mitzvah on the 4th. It's a big day for the Swartz family and, also, for the congregation. I do hope you're planning on joining us that morning.
After that there will be the regular August's worth of planning and preparation for 5768 - High Holidays, religious school, congregational life in general, and programs new and old.
While work in many ways, my stay in Israel for this month has been a vacation. I hope you have had - or plan to have - some vacation - even if your travels are local or just a change of regular pace around home and town.
See you before you know it. I'll come up for air after the Bar Mitzvah and look forward to being back in the swing of things with everyone.
Rabbi Heath
