First,
we went to Shul. We grouped off into four synagogues. There was an Orthodox, a
“Feminist Orthodox”, a Conservative and a Reform Shul. The Orthodox ones were
Mechizah minyans, however, in the Feminist Orthodox one, they count only a
minyan with ten men AND ten women. We learned that men and women both lead, but just different parts of the service. The group heading to the Conservative service found the school it
was supposed to be in, but nobody was there and they joined the Reform minyan. There was a Bat Mitzvah going on in the Reform service and we really enjoyed listening to her read from the Torah.
After
Shul we went to lunch and had
free time after that. During free time, some of us swam or just hung out. After
Havdalah, we went to Ben Yehuda street to shop, this time without the danger of
being sprayed with shaving cream. We went into small groups and wandered
around and some people had visitors.
We
got back really late, but everybody had a really fun time!
