I had only 3 units of Berlitz lessons today, but the first class (1 unit) turned out to be a no-show: 9:00-9:45 and 12:00-1:30.
We went to Il Pentolino and had our usual favorite dishes for lunch today. On our way back, it was sprinkling a little but not enough to get us seriously wet between the car and the building. It DID produce a nice rainbow, though!
I watched several of the videos of lectures about math in Hebrew today, and I am really enjoying them. The professor (from Hebrew University in Jerusalem) is really a good lecturer on math, and he also speaks slowly and distinctly, so his Hebrew is quite easy for me to understand.
Just before the light of the sun left our lovely valley today, we lit candles, sipped wine, and ate a bit of challah to welcome the Shabbat queen.
ימין ושמאל תפרוצי, ואת-יי תעריצי
על-יד איש בן פרצי, ונשמחה ונגילה
yamin usmol tifrotzi, v'et Adonai ta'aritzi
al-yad ish ben partzi, v'nism'kha v'nagila
Right and left you will burst forth, and you will admire Adonai
By the hand of a man of my breach, and we will be glad and rejoice
[8th stanza of L'cha Dodi, the traditional poem welcoming Shabbat]
