Yesterday, Wednesday, was Shavuot, celebrating the Jews receiving the Torah on Mount Sinai.  Tuesday dinner was spent at a Hadassah women’s home.  She and her husband had both been in Young Judaea for at least 50 years, as the husband did the 2nd ever Year Course. 

Tuesday night, I was wide awake as we all awaited the walk to the Kotel at 4 am.  About 45 min - 1 hour, the streets were filled with people.  We got to the Kotel in time for sunrise, as did a few thousand other people.  It was a struggle getting up to the wall, but we were persistent. 

I was finally asleep by 7, and slept until about 2 pm.
