Shabbat in Chashmonaim

 Gavriel in Israel

On Friday we went to our cousins' house for Shabbat.  We slept there.  It was really good.  I learned how to play a new game, Abalone.  It is quite fun.  My brother and I also played chess, but it wasn't any time of chess, it was Romanian chess.  It was fun.

Shabbat morning, I tried a new type of cereal.  It was puffed wheat with brown sugar and honey.  It is really good.  Then we went to shul.  After shul we ate lunch.  Lunch was chicken, it was good.  Dessert was an Israeli Otter Pop, but it is a lot smaller.  A few hours later, there was another kid around my age who came over with his friends, and his friend's mom.  We went and played.  When we got there, they called out all the other kids on the block.  We had a Bimba race.

At the end of the race, a Bimba went over my ankle.  It scraped away a little skin, I bled a tiny bit.  But I didn't go home.  Then we went to the boy's house.  We played Beyblade, but that turned out to be a disaster and my brother and I wanted to go home, so we did.  When we got back our parents weren't there because they went on a walk.  We both had a cookie and we talked and read.  Then our parents came back.  We had dinner.  Then after dinner, we went on a walk with my cousin Eti.  My brother and I ran around in the middle of the street and we tried to surprise our Ima by running out and yelling "Charge!"  It was fun.  I also tried to be a ninja.  When we went back, Ezra and I went in their hammock.  Then we said havdala.  Then we went home.
