Nothing special happened last night--we played a large game of poker in Noah's apartment for 120 shekels, which Sean won. After that, we talked for a little while, and then went to sleep.
This morning I awoke and we started to have some breakfast and clean up a bit, because our bus from Arad left at 2. At about 12:30, a little girl came and knocked on the door asking us if we'd like to perform a mitzvah. Some of us followed her downstairs to a neighbor's apartment, and we did the brachot (blessings) over the lulav and etrog.
Only in Israel does a neighbor who does not know you at all invite you over to wave plants around inside their house, even going as far as to walk you through the words of the blessings.
Soon after, Ephy, Simon, Scott and I departed Arad and returned to Bat Yam. This past weekend was pretty good, I just wish I would have gotten more (rather, any) pictures of the desert. But I suppose I'll have plenty of time for that once I get down there in December.
I think I'm going to go to sleep pretty early tonight, because we have to be up at 6 tomorrow to go to Jerusalem--chag sameach, everyone!
