I was scheduled to teach only one 1-unit class today, but it turned out to be a no-show. Actually, the students had already told me during their class last Monday that none of them could make it today and that they intended to cancel it, but apparently they forgot to do so. Of course, I had to go in and wait, just in case anyone might show: 9:00-9:45.
I watched several more math lectures in Hebrew and did another Hebrew podcasts lesson today, as well.
I ate my traditional whole-wheat spaghetti with Palermo sauce at Il Pentolino for lunch today.
As the sun was beginning to sink behind the Eilat Mountains, I lit candles, sipped sweet red wine, and ate a bit of challah to welcome Shabbat. I enjoy singing the blessing for the wine and looking at a mountain that is actually in Egypt as the song mentions זכר ליציאת מצרים a memorial of the exodus from Egypt.
מזמםר שיר ליום השבת
טוב להודות ליי, ולזמר לשמך, עליון
להגיד בבוקר חסדך, ואמונתך בלילות
עלי-עשור ועלי-נבל, עלי הגיון בכנור
A song for the day of Shabbat
It is good to give thanks to Adonai, and to make music to Your name, O Most High
To tell in the morning of your kindness, and of your faithfulness in the nights
On the 10-stringed instrument and the harp, with a meditation on the violin
[from Psalm 92]
