After sleeping in a bit, I wandered through Jerusalem for most of the afternoon. I had a few small errands to run, and then I meandered the streets. I found my favorite place to sit, above the shuq. I know now if I go to Habad 1, I can get up to the roof.
I decided to put on Tefillin, and ended up talking for about an hour with a young chabbadnik from the states. His friend joined into the conversation, and we realized we had some mutual friends in the chabad community back at home.
At around 4:30, Dashiell's group arrived. I spent some time explaining about the western wall, and how large the temple mount is. Then we went and took a picture together, and Dashiell left a note. Afterwards, I showed him the glass area where you can see the bottom of the wall, and really understand how high it used to be.
Above, Dashiell and I take a picture at the Kotel.
I ended up hopping on the bus, and talking with a woman who knew Yael. I never got her name though. I hung out with Dashiell in the lobby, found him a place to stay (with Leslie at the Dizengoff residences), and had dinner with the group. It was actually quite tasty. At some point in the evening, I received a phone call and was recruited for an art project tomorrow morning in Tel Aviv. Should be very interesting.
I wanted to take a picture of this sign at the entrance to the temple mount, but there was an open gate blocking it, so since it was closed this afternoon, I was able to today.
