Shabbat, 25 July 2015

I stayed quite late last night at Me'ir's party, mostly talking with a new friend named Gadi. Although he's Israeli, he used to work for the Jewish Agency, and for a number of years he represented them in Montreal and Toronto, so his English is near-native level. The first part of our conversation was in Hebrew, but we eventually switched to mostly English. He also lost his partner, but it was a number of years ago, in a traffic accident, which, I think, would be exceptionally hard to deal with. Anyway, it was nice to make a new friend, even though I really didn't get enough sleep last night, despite getting up WAY late.

I took Me'ir to lunch at the Gulf Restaurant today and spent a little time at his place, meeting a few other people, all of whom I only talked very briefly with.
