We woke up and had a low-key morning working at the house. Arielle went out for a meeting in the afternoon and then returned to help cook some food for Saturday. Jeremy left to go lead his Friday night service at the synagogue, which involves an African drummer, and we arrived and found the right service about two minutes before it ended. We then went to the main service in the chapel, which was led by the executive director of the synagogue, who happens to be trained as a cantor. After the service, we walked back to the house, where we hung out and talked with Elana. We left around 7:45 to walk about twenty-five minutes to the home of Lauren, who grew up at Abe’s synagogue, and Elan. We had last seen Lauren when we visited Israel in 2013, and it was great to meet Elan. After a lovely, very plentiful meal that included Hummus Basar (hummus with meat), we got to meet their youngest child, who woke up and sat with us for a bit. Though it included hills in every direction, we enjoyed a peaceful walk back to the house, where Elana and Jeremy had already gone to sleep.
