Sweaty

I rode a good distance today. 12 miles in about 45 minutes. It felt really good to be sweating under the hot sun. I think I really needed it just to clear my head.

Tonight is the big Goodbye Bash. Even though I'm not leaving until the 31st, most of my friends leave next week for school. Hopefully more than a dozen people show up. It was kinda late notice because my mom only reserved the park last week. Still, It will be fun and it will be good to see people.

Gleb our friend from Israel is here! My brother went on a Mifgash trip last summer through the Jewish Federation of KC. Ten teens from KC and Ten from the Ramla/Gezer area in Israel were paired up. The Israelis are here until next Thursday. Last night we had Kabbalat Shabbat with all of them. It reminded me too much of camp. We did some of the same tunes including the niguns, I played yaniv with a few of the Israelis, and we even said Birchot! I miss camp a lot.

Nir, the KC shaliach, was there last night too. It was good to see him. He will be in Israel for about a week once I get there. Hopefully I will get to see him.

B'Shalom
