Chag Sameach!
December 26, 2005Wow, it is raining again here. Rain and more rain. Its not Summer anymore. ITs not THAT cold but its damp and chilly. I guess it beats snow.
In our area everyone lights chanuka lights outside in small menorahs / chanukiyahs covered with these lucite boxes. Last night the kids had a chanuka party sponsored by the misrad kaklita, the absorbtion ministry. SO we got to see some familiar faces that made aliya with us. They had some skit and a dude with a guitar. It was in Hebrew so the kids understood some of it. It was good to be on the OTHER side… you know making fun of the guy who has to entertain the kids. Tonight is a different story. Actually the rest of chanuka is a different story.
I have 7 balloon gigs in 5 days. It is going to be a bit tough working in family things with the gigs. Easier with a car though. TOnight I’m teaching kids in Rana’na how to make balloons and then have them go to a hospital on chanuka. Sponsored by the kollel there. Instead of shlepping 2 times, I gave them a good deal and I’m there 2 hours tonight. In israel FYI, an hour travel in alot and the gas makes it a very expensive trip. SO by doing 2 hours its actually a good deal. I also thought the kids would have off the entire week. Not the case, thank goodness. Moshe has school half day almost the entire week as he is a “talmud torah”. The big kids I think are off starting tuesday. I’m going to start researching into the museums in Jerusalem and other places.. Indoor stuff is the way to go.
ALthough I heard thursday will be nice. Oh well, I’m going to sign off and try to boook another gig in Jerusalem.
Chanukah Semeach!
