randomness...


My opinions, updates on my life, all sorts of "randomness"...

My last night in Prague, and I still haven't found "it," "it" being that thing that's makes people fall in love with this place. But I have had a good time. Went out for dinner tonight with these Americans, Brian & Sam (btw, Sam is basically Stephanie Katz reincarnate...freaks me out a bit), and now I'm doing some online stuff while they're at the Opera, then we're gonna go to some jazz club...

Shabbat was okay. Nice and relaxing, but that's it. Went for services this morning at the Old New Synagogue, the oldest synagagoue in Europe, of Golem fame. Gotta say, wasn't impressed. First of all, the women's section was basically like being in another building. Meaning the only connection to the men's section were these tiny openings in the wall...the wall was about 2 feet thick...and the openings were maybe a foot across and maybe 6 inches high...and there were only about 6 of them. Couldn't see, couldn't really hear... Besides the physical layout of the shul, I just wasn't so impressed by the friendliness of people. Granted I'm sure they get tons of tourists bothering them all the time, but it's still so weird to be in a shul and not have anyone really talk to me... I don't know, it's been like that all over Europe.

Leave for Berlin in the morning, so we'll see what unfolds there!
