Pre-Shabbat notes!

A quick pre-Shabbat post, with list-utilizing efficiency.
1) Yesterday, in addition to the bar mitzvah, was a "swearing in ceremony" at SK for the prefects (of which our friend Samson is one).  A very interesting vestige of British colonialism, it was probably one of the few such ceremonies which had the option of a)Bible b)quran and c)Birnbaum translation of the Torah.  And after which the Head Boy thanked "Adon-ai."
2) Friday seems to be a day for exploring my domestic side--today I joined some of the rabbis young nieces in bracelet making (pics when I return!) It will hopefully be sold with the ones they and other women in the community make to raise money.
3)SO MANY MUZUNGUS came in today! Up until now the numbers had been increasing, but only gradually (and the bar mitzvah family's leaving tomorrow).  About ten swooped in today, and I was surprised how strongly it struck me--while I'd always appreciated not being the only one, so many was a bit of a culture shock.
4)Tonight I'll be having dinner at the rabbis along with a few of the other muzungus--should be a fun and different experience!
Shabbat Shalom!
