Torah study this morning with Yardena Cope-Yossef at Elul (www.elul.org.il) was exquisite.
How great was it? It reminded me of the following opera story:
Early in his career, Enrico Caruso auditioned for Giacomo Puccini, singing the aria "Recondita Armonia," from Tosca. Puccini accompanied Caruso at the piano and at the end of the aria turned to him and asked, "Who sent you to me? God himself?"
Yep. That's how beautiful the Torah study was.
We had great falafel (or shwarma, as the case may have been) lunch at the corner of Emek Refaim and Rachel Imeinu (the center of Jerusalem, as far as I'm concerned), and then went to the Herzl museum and the national cemetery on Har Herzl.
Kol hakavod to the museum for recounting the exciting history of Zionism and the State of Israel without engaging in apologetics or political sleight of hand. It presented the dream, the achievement, and the challenges in a cleverly conceived biopic.
Ok. Can no longer see the computer screen clearly.
Lailah tov!!
