A Bar-Mitzvah to remember
I went to a fun party on Monday... I had more beers than I usually limit myself to, but it was fun anyway. I think I may have hurt my thumb more than I was supposed to, and it still hurts, but in a worst-case scenario, it's a pressure fracture, and that's not so bad. And I've been at Jonah's a lot, which is nice. I really didn't take last week seriously, which is probably why I arrived at my Friday exam 20 minutes late. Ah well, I'm sure I aced it.
And this weekend, I went to Jonah's mother's place for his brother's Bar Mitzvah, which ended up being at a friend's place across the border. That was fun, and the first Bar Mitzvah I'd ever been to. I was a little disapointed that it wasn't in a synagogue, but that's ok too. I've never been inside a synagogue either. I was having a lot of trouble following the Hebrew text too, as my reading isn't exactly up to snuff. The best part was the singing though... I really wished I had a tape recorder because some of it was really beautiful. There was a great party afterwards, which was continued at Jonah's mom's place. Lots of dancing and good food.
Well, it's supper time, but before I go, here are the results of my belief-o-matic quiz:
