Sunday was Day 1 for Penina and Ilana. In Israel, some schools start on September 1 and some schools start on the first day of the Hebrew month of Elul. This year, the days coincided and the whole city went back to school on the same day. It was great to see kids in every sort of school
stressed excited at the same time about school starting.

Today,
Cousin Sela arrived for a year of seminary, which has everyone here very happy about seeing her a lot (no pressure, Sela). I was able to meet her and her friends at the airport and give them a proper welcome. (The sign says "welcome" and their seminary name)
Tomorrow I start back at work. This year, I will be going to on-site clinics in seminaries twice a week and being on-call two other days a week on the new health hotline that 500 students will be using. It's a new service, so we'll see what happens!
Glad to be back home after our big US trip and wishing my parents a hearty Mazal Tov on their 60th wedding anniversary!
