The first Shabbat was spent at the
homes of the Diller teens of GreaterMetroWest. Some Dillers went to Beit
K’nesset/Synagogue with their hosts and stayed in the area; while others
traveled to different places, like New York and Philly. The Israelis were extremely
excited to see snow fall for the first time! Some of us played in the snow and
had a blast! After Shabbat, Julian welcomed us all to his house, where we hung
out for hours! We talked, danced, and got to know each other better. At about
12:30, when EVERYBODY was pretty much passing out, we headed home to get rested
for Good deeds day.
On Saturday
March 16th, Michael and I were looking forward to sleeping in then going out
for a nice birthday lunch. Michael decided to sleep in until 11:30 but
apologized greatly for "keep me waiting". While we were eating
breakfast Michael explained to me how much he loves birthdays and said happy
birthday for the first of many times.
After breakfast we both got ready to go out to lunch at Don Jose with my family and
I. Then the party started as we arrived back home and I introduced my Randolph
friends to "Israeli Mike". We had three Michaels at my house so we
need to have some distinction between the names and Diller Michael came up with
the nickname "Israeli Mike". After a lot of FIFA, ping pong, music,
and just hanging out and talking, Michael and I decided to get to bed for a long
day of writing books for little kids was ahead of us!!
