hannukah

Jess and I would like to wish everyone a happy Hanukkah. We were out for a walk tonight and got to see the large menorah’s being lite around the city. Near Ben Yehuda (the big tourist street), there was a large menorah with loud speakers blaring jewish music as they were lighting the menorah.

Tonight is bittersweet for us. We always knew that we would have to say goodbye to friends we made because they were going to be going to one of the other campuses. Tonight, one of our good friends is heading back to the states. She decided that she wanted to pursue a different career path then being a Cantor, which we are definitely supportive of her decision. On top of that, she had a family emergency, so needed to head back to the states 3 weeks before she had initially planned.

So a joyous night, yet at the same time bittersweet.

Chag Semeach (Happy Holidays),

Chad and Jess
