This morning I woke up and went to a jewish synagogue. I had absolutely no idea what to expect other than that I had to wear something that would cover my head. I went inside and they were singing just as I would imagine they would sing back in the times of Christ with an “ohm” type of singing. They then brought out the torah that had a silver crown on top and opened it to read from the bound scrolls. I have had a couple of moments like that in life. I was just in awe, I didn’t quite know what to say other than just look around and try to take it all in. There were times on my mission for example that I was like that ie. The taj mahal, but not very often.
list of random things done in no sequential order:
1. Danced with a rabbi in west jerusalem
2. Sang in the branch choir
3. went to the tomb of Christ and golgatha. 
4. Ate a fulaful
5. Ate Shwerma
6. wnet to the church of the holy spelcure( tradtionial site of christ's crucification, death and burial)
7. Pools of bethesda and adjacent st. Ana's church.
8. Met an awesome shop keeper that is a photographer and is going to take me to get all the shots.
9. had a two hour discussion with my islam teacher on orientalism in the lunch room. 
10. Was assigned and completed over 100 pages of reading in one day. 


ps. I think this is the easiest way to tell everyone what is going on quickly so wish me luck.
