Shabbat

So this shabbat I had yet another meal. The invite was amusing, so I'll post it, so you can see the great amusingness that is the Rachel Meal Invite:

( what was I on? )

So originally 9 people said yes. Then a 10th said yes. Then I invited a few more. Then one who had said yes realized the meal was saturday and not friday and changed to a no. Then Simone asked if I could host a prefrosh. Then Saturday at kiddush Yoni asked if he and his sister could come [having rejected my meal beforehand]. So we ended up with 17...I think.

Friday night Michael, Tova, and I ended up staying in Hillel for a really long time. Then I went to 403 for a bit. Then I went back to my room.

Of course, I woke up at 10, the one time I needed to be up for the beginning of davening. I was giving the d'var Torah, and needed time to prepare it...I had looked at some stuff Friday afternoon, and decided on the famous "winging it" approach.

I talked about when a father sells his daughter into slavery, and how it's a mitzvah for the master to marry her, and otherwise he has to help her be redeemed. It ended up being good somehow. At least, everyone said they liked it. And it had Torah in it, which automatically made it better than the one on Friday night.

So Saturday night was the last show of Anne Frank. I sat with Avidan and Michael, and they liked the show. The place was packed! Yay! I did a good job as publicity!
