Last night was my first shabbat here. Shabbat here is so different than back home.
Friday's here we don't have school! That is the biggest difference to me so far! Another very big difference is how much time is spent at services praying. At home service is like 45 minutes to an hour long. Here its a bit longer. Everyone here celebrates shabbat! EVERYONE! Its really cool. Everyone is dressed up, we have a special meal, we sing songs, we pray, its lovely. Today as well we went to more services. Services today was 2 hours long... but it was nice. Just long. Shabbat here is a lot more restful than back at home.
Shabbat in Israel is a joy. I love it too. Yes, relaxing and special. I am glad you get to experience that. Yes, Everyone does celebrate it. It is a good way to be.
