#ShabbatShalom : A Good Week

This week we had friends over for lunch after Kindergarten-camp twice, we went to the zoo, and at Moonlight Movies we stayed for the whole film for the first time. One of the girls had a birthday and they brought down a birthday cake to share with everyone. Candles, singing Happy Birthday, warm fuzzy neighbourly feelings all round. It was a personal first for me too. After 25 years in this country I watched my first ever whole film in Hebrew without subtitles - and could follow the plot. OK so How To Train Your Dragon doesn't have such a complicated plot but still.




Shabbat Shalom

      Thanks, ridiculous that it's taken me 25 years to do this but better late than never.

    Well I'm impressed you understood "How to Train Your Dragon" in Hebrew-some pretty technical vocab in there if i remember rightly!! Love this way of getting to know your neighbours. Such a great idea. How is the movie chose each time?

      You don't need to understand every word - just the gist as you follow the pictures. :) The organising committee collected eight suitable movies at the start and agreed on them. Each week a different family 'hosts' - that means they set it up and do whatever extras they like. The host family chooses from the remaining movies.
