Yesterday we had a great Sium Party at the Beit Midrash. One of my students from my daf yomi lesson had to fly out of the country and may miss the party we will have later this month to mark the end on one more masechet (tractate of Talmud) so I decided to double the fun and have an extra party.
Some of my students from my daily lesson in my neighborhood came to celebrate with us and Rabbi Haim Louk, my teacher and mentor from my days in Los Angeles, and the greatest Moroccan musician of our time, came to teach and sing with us. here is a link to some of his songs online: http://www.piyut.org.il/cgi-bin/search.pl?Expression=%E7%E9%E9%ED+%EC%E5%F7
click on any of the links there... one of my favorites :http://www.piyut.org.il/tools/player.html?quality=good&per=http://media.snunit.k12.il/piut/GoodQuality/719.wma&d=n
We had some great food, given to us by my good friend Yossi Vashdi from Shalom Falafel (look, I even found a link to that... http://www.mapa.co.il/ng/buildrecord_d.asp?id=8748 )
It was an unbelievable experience, so uplifting. I think that some of what made it so great was the mix of people. everybody felt comfortable, everyone was at ease. Check out some of the pictures...
