Shabbos

So, we went to my sister and brother-in-law's for shabbos in Woodmere, it was so nice. We went to their shul, Aish Kodesh, which is SUCH a nice shul. Physcially, it's beautiful. The doors are bronze, and very detailed, the mechitza is made out of one-way mirrors, so that the women can see what's going on, and the Aron is beautiful. The nicest thing, however, was the everyone sang together. No one groaned when the chazzan tried to sing... they sang with him, enthusiastically. And when the Rabbi spoke, people listened. Tzvi went to a mens seudat shlishit at the shul, and he said everyone sang there too, and people crowded around to hear the Rabbi speak. It was just a really nice change.
Of course, it was also great spending time with my sister and Michael. They're always fun.
