Yaffa wants her own entry and picture

Here's a picture of the real Ravid and Yaffa.  She didn't like that the picture announcing her engagement was not of her.  So here it is: the happy couple.  Not much going on Chez Garberkowitz today.  We just saw the movie WALL-E (or however you write it).  Adam liked it; I was bored.  There were lots of kids there and most seemed totally engaged.  I agree that it had a good message about the state of our planet, but it lacked decent dialogue (that's a joke, there's no dialogue!) and the plot was rather simplistic.  And it was gross to think that if we don't take care of our land and our bodies, things could really end up like that. Time to hit the gym! 

Celebrating with Joyce

Mazal tov to Joyce Juda, who celebrated 25 years as NERUSY director last week.  Adam and I went to Providence, as did Yaffa and Ravid, and we caught up with lots of old friends. The day was lovely and included tributes to Joyce from all the 25 years.  We ended with singing the regional song, "Joyce's Little Region."  Our day continued with Celebrate West Hartford (basically a big fun street fair - awesome) and then a great dinner at Claire's in New Haven (kosher and vegetarian food - something for everyone!  BTW, the picture in the previous post is not of Yaffa and Ravid - I hope you've figured that out! :)

Yaffa and Ravid are engaged!

Been a long time - we're busy people with no time to blog. But I'm trying.  So here's just a quick update.  Yaffa and Ravid got engaged last night!  Apparently it was very sweet and romantic - I've only really heard Yaf screeching so far - she's very excited.  In other news, Adam and I were just trying to BBQ and I think we burnt the BBQ!  I'm in shock.  I didn't think that could happen.  So we've moved the chicken inside and we'll have to look at the BBQ next week.  Right now, I'm in a fight with the BBQ and I don't want to go near it!  Adam played with the Zamir Chorale in the beginning of June.  That was great - so nice to kvell in Boston!  Here he's pictured with my beloved Cantor Aryeh Finklestein after the show.  OK, must finish a sermon.  Shabbat Shalom!
