This part of the trip seems amazing. You learned some great skills. The. Synagogue looks majestic. What a presence! Would be nice to visit at shabbat service and pray with the locals. I am sure they would welcome you with open arms.
This trip is really well planned. Way to go Marcie. Your Canadian guests seem precious! Everyone happy and relaxed.
