Long time, no Blog -- but I'm back now!
How quickly time passes! June was an incredibly busy month at work, with lots of major events and travel. Then July came and went, and I was on vacation for the majority of the month. And now, here we are in August and I’m back (fingers crossed!) to regular blogging!
Despite my busy schedule this summer, I’ve kept up for the most part with weekly Torah readings, attending virtual Erev Shabbat and Shabbat services when possible, and lots of personal study and reading!
One major development is that I’ve booked a trip to Israel in Feb 2023! I haven’t been to Israel since 2000 when I did the archaeological dig through the University of Toronto, so I’m really looking forward to being back in Eretz Israel — and this time, more for fun and learning! When I was there 20+ years ago, we were on the dig site 5 days a week from 4 a.m. to 2 p.m., and we had very little time to tour around. This time around will be very different, I’m sure.
