Shabbat in Tel Aviv. Kind of like Wednesday in Tel Aviv except a whole lot more people out, on the beach, in the (open) restaurants.
Tel Aviv hosted a triathlon this morning. Can't imagine that in Jerusalem (not to mention the challenge of swimming through Hezekiah's Tunnel, about the largest body of water in the vicinity).
I picked up Shayna this morning, took a walk around the port, and then headed to Cousin Dana's house for lunch. I learned that my interview with Helen Hunt on "Who do you think you are" was telecast in Israel, with Hebrew subtitles. I'd love to get a copy of that!
Here's the family:
With Shayna packing and getting ready for her departure tonight, I headed for dinner with Ken Marcus, a leading scholar and activist on anti-Semitism (who guest lectured in my seminar on anti-Semitism at SF State). He's in town to give a paper at Tel Aviv University. We began our dinner at 6 pm and didn't stop talking until 10:15 pm, at a different restaurant for dessert. A great way to end this sabbatical journey, keeping my brain neurons firing.
Off to bed then to the airport in the morning…
Happy Mother's Day Marci!
