Chag Semach. Today is Simchat Torah and Yael and my anniversary. We had breakfast in the sukkah and then went for a walk. We could find no one dancing in the streets with Torahs. In fact, there weren't many people about at all. Like Shabbat, everything, but tourist places, was shut tight.
We decided to visit Yael's aunt Sara who lives in Holon. We had not seen her for 28 years. A very short taxi ride (60 NIS) and we were in her apartment. The views were incredible from her terrace --- the Mediterranean Sea and Tel Aviv. Sara mentioned that she too noticed that there was no dancing in the streets this year. While we were waiting for a taxi to take us back to Holon, we spotted another sukkah as well as some people returning from a synagogue.
Next, we are going to visit with Aunt Erika.
