Team Liz is very aware of the clock ticking down on our adventures here in Israel. We are working very hard to make the most of our final months in the Holy Land. On Friday night we shared Shabbat dinner with our dear friends LeAnne (Liz's study partner) her husband Abe and their two daughters Ella and Marion. Here are some photos from the evenings festivities. Click here if you want to see more photos.
Team Liz has a good friend, Paul Arberman, who lives with his wife and three children in a bedroom community of Jerusalem called Modi'in. Paul invited us to join him for a night of folk music. So Saul grabbed his guitar and we hopped in our friends car and headed to Modi'in. Saul played a couple songs as seen here. The jam session was held in a synagogue that is housed in a bomb shelter - needless to say the location was a bit bizarre but the music was good!

LeAnne, Abe, Ella and Marion follow along as the Megillah is read at the CY. The noise-makers are sounded every time Haman's name is mentioned.
If you haven't heard the big news - Saul and Liz are participating in the Arava/Hazon Ride from Jerusalem to Eilat. The bike ride is designed to raise funds and awareness about peace, the environment and Israel. Team Liz will be riding for 6 days and approximately 300 miles! So we started training and here is a photo from our first training ride in March. You can also donate to help us raise money for this amazing organization by following this link to our team page.
