There are no natural bodies of water in Jerusalem, so tashlich is really tough. But we came up with a great solution. By the afternoon of Rosh Hashana, we found ourselves with three bags of composting -- apple skins, carrot peels, egg shells, pomegranate skins, etc. So we took all our composing to our local community garden, where we usually bring it, and recited the Tashlich verses as we cast our organic waste onto the compost heap. I think it was quite effective. Instead of the ducks eating our sins, the worms feasted on them. It might have worked a little better if we were able to compost our chocolate wrappers and leftover cake, since of course I have no guilt about our fruit and vegetable waste, but unfortunately the worms can't digest that.

Sarah's 14th b-day
Sarah was "surprised" by her friends who all came over dressed in dance outfits. They spent a few hours eating, chatting and dancing. Very cute!

Eitan is walking!!!
We are proud to say that Eitan is officially walking. He spent most of the day walking instead of crawling from toy to toy. Now Aaron will finally have someone to run around with next month!
