Day 46 - Lateness

Day 46 - Tuesday 29 June 2010

So sleeping in and being late to morning prayers in Melbourne was often quite hard..It meant that if I wasn't awake by a set time, I would miss the set times to pray and would therefore be left frantically searching for a Minyan, or giving up and praying at home.

Thankfully, for living in the promised land, and in the holiest city, I have the joy of the 'Shteiblach' near my place (the 'minyan factory as mentioned in a previous post) and as you can see from the photo, when I woke up at 9.47am, I was still able to catch a service at 10.00am, on a fast day!

(This picture was taken at the end of the prayers)

The other joy of the day was that I had to work in the afternoon/evening/night. The chef's were really nice and at the end of the fast, when I had already told them all I needed to do was pray and drink water to keep going, they made me sit down in the middle of a full service to eat dinner and get back some energy..great place!

Made me smile the rest of the night! =)
