Holiday Activities

So i had an incredible night. The girls and I (that being Jen and Mary Ann) were invited to a Dutch house to celebrate Rosh Hashanah. Since this is the second day of the Jewish New Year, this family also likes to throw a party celebrating the holiday. It was so nice. It was only 12 ladies and i had a feeling of sisterhood in the room. We had bread and wine just as most Jews do on Sabbath but the bread and the wine had a more significant meaning to us as Christians. We ate the traditional blessing food of apple and honey since everyone wants a "sweet" New Year. We shared a meal together also. Here in Palestine, sharing a meal has so much more meaning. Its like you are joining together as one. I love sharing meals with families here! Then before leaving we sung a few praise songs together. I think it was a great start to a four day break!
