Tues. July 8, 2014, Zaidoun Subhi invited us to a Ramadan dinner at Beit Safaf Women's Society. Jan Clayton and Alexis Nickle came with me. Blaine dropped us off and went to Zaidoun's house to visit while he waited for us. Women are the same everywhere. I felt like I was at a RS dinner. When we got there the women were finishing the meal and setting the tables. They served a delicious rice dish with chicken, humus, pita, cucumber and tomato salad, and pastries for desert.
Mrs. Subhi (Zaidoun's mother) is the president of the association. She introduced us to the women and made us feel welcome.
There were three young women that helped serve the meal. It made me think of the Beehives helping with a RS dinner.
On the way home, we enjoyed the Ramadan lights in Beit Safafa.
When we pulled into the garage, a group of students were doing yoga.
We got home just a little before 10 p.m. About 10 minutes after we arrived, a siren sounded across the city. Then the Jerusalem Center alarm system went off. We all hurried upstairs to the bomb shelter on the 6th floor. This was the first of 4 trips to the bomb shelter because of missles shot from Gaza. Luckily their is an "iron dome" that intercepts the missles before they land.
