WOW.
ALREADY HALF WAY. And just like that I have thirty days of this kind of freedom left.
To the Jewish community, Saturday is the sabbath {shabbat} so nothing is open and people use the day to rest and relax.
So after one day of work Jareem and I had our first day off haha
We spent the morning attending a congregation meeting that was part Hebrew, part French, and part English. Thank goodness the sermon was translated in English! Although I couldn’t understand two thirds of what was happening, you could tell that the group was a very spirit filled people who welcomed us into to their sacred home. I will never forget this experience because of haw bizzar but impactful it was.
Once done with church, we walked over to one of the oldest ports in the world, Jaffa. This is apparently the port Jonah left from before he was consumed by a giant fish! After being tourists for a bit, we went to the beach and swam in the Mediterranean. Jareem loves to swim, but is afraid of the sun, so she was covered head to toe in clothing.
We stayed in the water for hours not saying much, but having so much fun
