Thanksgiving in Israel

Happy Thanksgiving (for yesterday)!

Australians don't celebrate Thanksgiving but doing a program with 21 Americans and 1 Canadian meant that Thanksgiving this year was a massive deal.


Last night I attended my second Thanksgiving dinner in one of the ITF apartments. This meal had legitimately been in the making for the last month.  People had spent every night this week cooking until 2am to make sure we had all of the 'sides' (a term used to describe everything but the turkey), turkey (we substituted that for chicken) and dessert.  Aaaaaaaaaand, boy was it worth it!


I donated some meatballs to the dinner but we had all the classics and they were amazing.  Special shoutout to the girls from Ben Eliezer for putting on the spread!  I will let the photos below speak for themselves as to how delicious the meal was!  Now I intend on spending all of Shabbat in bed working off the billions of calories I ate last night and watching episodes of Scandal because it's my new binge show.


Shabbat Shalom!
