Meerkat log, Friday 27-11-09

Dear log.
I am writing here at Inbal's computer.
Last night I attended A Jewish "kabalat Shabat".
Grandparents, children and much more came to celebrate the holy day of Shabat. All the boys are wearing "kipa" and all the girls looked so pretty...I like Inbal's sister - look - I think she likes me too!


Than Michael Karo (from Karo arts) and I, have read from the prayers book together. What a beautiful thing it was!
Than Owl and I looked at the Kidush wines- The right bottle is for the children, grape juice.
At the "bore pri ha gafen" - the wine was served and I sniffed the dry white wine. It has a funny smell and I did not tasted because I am only a child Meerkat.
After a huge dinner, I suffered from a little home sickness so Guy Karo-Sigal, a Chinese Dr. Gave me Acupuncture treatment and now I am in a very good mood!
Here are some photos of Guy giving me the treatment. It did not hurt a bit and I had those funny needles all over my head and back.


Oh, and at the end of that evening we had lots of fun and jokes together. I finally fell asleep.
I realy need a sleeping bag for traveling the world, so I asked Inbal and her children to make me one. Liya, 6.5 year old, promised to sew me with her mom. I said I will help too!
Good night!

Treasure the Meerkat

To be continued....

Made by Heather from niftyknits, This Little cute Meerkat is traveling in a world tour.
What a surprise it was to open our post office box and find him there, with all his things, smiling at us! We (children and I) were so happy!
So...
Little Treasure is here at Galilee ...



We are having lots of fun together, and he started writing a post to my blog - and until Treasure will publish his diary, I will give you a glance of what we already did together:
* We traveled to the sea of Galilee, the lake "Kineret" in Hebrew, and it is very very low, so I gave him an explanation about the water problems here in Israel. It Rains too little and our water resources are getting smaller every year. Sweet Treasure looked all around and saw this owl "Golden poppy wise Christmas owl free shipping" doing "rain prayer".
So Treasure tried to make a rain prayer by himself - look:
And some heavy rain clouds gathered around to hear better the Owl and the Meerkat Pray to rain.
Rain prayer is very common in Jewish religion. We pray to God to give the land good rain.
Here is a rain prayer:


Meerkat and owl Prayed together and suddenly first drop of rain came down
We went away to our Home Schooling meeting
And the drops of the rain danced on the land.

Here is our children, with the umbrellas open, welcoming the rain!


After sun dawn, Treasure and all OOwls came back to our house.

Tonight he will join our Kidush of Saturday evening with the family.
Shabat Shalom and happy Thanksgiving!
