Our last night was a highlight! On the rooftop garden of a Jerusalem family's home, we shared memories of the week, ate a delicious dinner under the stars, and danced Israeli dances. Before we headed to the hotel for our last rest, many thanks were expressed. To Marcia and Mike Nichols for their extraordinary hearts and souls which filled all of ours, to our guides and drivers without whom our trip would not have been as special and in-depth, to our friends in the congregation who made the trip possible, and to the privilege YOU gave me and Mark to lead you spiritually and in friendship. Members of the congregation also gave us a gift to commemorate this trip and it will be displayed at Temple with joy.
We arrive in Houston at 9:50pm, Tuesday. It will be a shame to exchange shorts and sandals for suits and ties, but we will always wear on us and in us the glorious days and nights in Israel.
Until next time, L'hitra'ot. - Rabbi David Lyon
