At 8:00 we got on the bus. First, we did something very exciting.
Big Pain and Royal Pain became Bar Mitzvahs. Well, Royal P was Bar Mitzvah-ed(?) last year and Big P’s is coming up in June. Royal is 14, Big will be 13 in May.
My big brother is a man.
Then, after that, we went to the whatchamacallit--Parliament--thingy--Knesset. It was cool. Very cool. We saw 3 tapestries that took the artist 8 YEARS to make . We also saw the room where all of the people vote and that stuff.
Then, everyone went to the Holocaust Museum thingy-ma-bobber. Everyone but me (My mom: “It‘s too scary!”) and my grandma. (Did I mention that this is her 36th trip to Israel?) We went back to the hotel and had a W-O-N-D-E-R-F-U-L lunch. I had minestrone and blintzes (one of the best foods ever, right up there with pizza, sushi, chocolate, and kugel.) I also ordered a hot chocolate. They brought me a cup full of warm milk with foam on the top. There was a chocolate truffle thingy on the bottom and I got to stir it up. Then, when we went out to dinner, I got tuna.
Okay, so our flight was canceled so we had to reschedule. We will leave on Monday for Newark and by Tuesday, we will be in Israel! And that is good. And bad. Good, because, well, we will be in Israel. Bad, because, Big Pain and our 14 year old cousin were going to have a Bar Mitzvah together. Big Pain's Bar Mitzvah is in two months an our cousin's was last year. They will not be able to do the Bar Mitzvah. :-(
This is a countdown to my Bat Mitzvah. (Visit my mom's blog if you don't know what a Bar/Bat Mitzvah is.)
Yes, we got the date for my Bat Mitzvah today! And, the coolest thing is, it falls exactly on my 13th birthday! That's possible because my birthday will be on a Saturday. Isn't that great? I know, I'm only nine, almost ten, but we need to know.
Oh, speaking of grandmas, here's what mine said today:
Me: "Hi Grandma!"
Her: "Hello!"
Me: "How're ya doin?"
Her: "Fine."
Me: "Grandma, guess what!"
Her: "What?"
Me: "My Bat Mitzvah is on January 5, 2013!"
Her: "That's great! Let me go write that down."
At this point, I repeated this to Ms. Witty and Big Pain, who, of course, burst out laughing.
My grandma's so organized, she has a checklist for cooking Thanksgiving dinner!
