Ben prepares a face to meet the faces that he meets.
Passover break starts today...yes, today. And Benjamin is so excited. He woke up early and was dressed before I was awake - oh, if such early-morning rigor applied to school days. And he said, "We are finally free from Egypt!"
A few weeks ago I saw some graffitti that said "Milchama Lo Chumus" - war is not houmus. I wasn't really convinced that I'd read the graffitti correctly until I saw this today, which must be part of the same series. "Chayalim ze lo Ugiyot" which means soldiers are not cookies. It must be part of a whole war/snack series. Make pastry, not war, that kind of thing.
I went to a brit this morning in North Jerusalem. They had separate staircases for men and women - I should have taken a picture of the signs. The ceremony was also separated by the "mechitza" - this picture is taken through the grid. The man on the left is definitely on his cell phone.
