Before we lit shabbat candles, we did a group photo using a timer (hence my awkward place basically on my roommates lap).Jeff made his typical toast, which drives home the point that there are only a few times in history when jews were really able to sit down and enjoy a shabbat meal together without worrying constantly. He finished with the Ramla toast to Honor, which while not necessarily appropriate for the shabbat dinner table, brought smiles and laughs and broke and remaining tenseness in the group. After Argentinian Jonathan and I did dishes, we all went to the beach around 11 just before the building quiet hours began.
At the beach, we played the guitar and had a bonfire. Josh and I went to find another bottle of wine for the group, and we sang and chatted until late.
Our Bonfire.
