First night in Tel Aviv

Just came back from a wonderful evening in Tel Aviv. Paula and Azzy and Paula's cousin Naava and her family went to the beach in Tel Aviv for a Kabbalat Shabbat.(That is a sabbath service on the beach). There were no words that can convey the feelings I had standing there at the service overlooking the Meditteranean. The service consisted of a little musical ensemble of a violin, flute, drums and some other instruments and a singer. My mom sat on a chair and was so happy to sit there and to listen to them singing the jewish prayers. I took a walk to the side and stood at the water and listened to the Israeli music and watched the sunset and watched the waves of the ocean. It was a moment in time that I will never forget and that touched my soul in ways that are hard to express. It is those moments that I feel close to G-d. It is those moments that I feel very blessed.....
