Fewer photo opportunities this week but still stimulating and interesting. 

Friday at Judah Hyam Synagogue with 
Rabbi Malekar
 Elder Mark Skidmore lighting the indoor menorah with Rabbi Malekar

 Sister Danna Hansen and Jeanette at the outdoor menorah.
At the end of the service the Rabbi blessed the five children there.  To the boys he gave the traditional blessing,  “May God make you like Ephraim and Manasseh” because, he explained, those two sons of Joseph remained true to the God of Israel even though they had been raised in Egypt.  So interesting! (The girls are blessed to be like Sarah, Rebekah, Rachel and Leah).

And . . . they don't pluck but just skin the chicken right in front of you (taking off feathers and skin together) in these obviously FDA approved facilities.  Could it get any fresher? Fabric and sewing shop at INA Market Friday Sisters Peck and Hodges invited me to come along with them to INA (Indian National Airways)    Market where we found all sorts of fruits, vegetables, poultry, clothes, bedding, jewelry, you name it.    I found some bright dishcloths to make up into scripture bags for my Valiant Primary class.   ...
