2 years later...

So I'm sitting here in my room at Savta Nina's house and thought to myself, "Wouldn't it be something to update that old Israel blog of ours for the first time since 2007?" While I don't think I could possibly mention everything that has happened in two years, I'll list a few important events:

-Adopted two cats in December, Tukie (M'tukah=sweet girl) and Toby (Toviah = good boy)
-Accumulated three years of cantorial study at the HUC-JIR School of Sacred Music
-Finished a two year tenure as the first-ever cantorial intern at Congregation Emanu-El of the City of New York
-Celebrated second wedding anniversary on June 10 by attending the opening night of Shakespeare in the Park
-Back in Israel for the summer, interning at HUC in Jerusalem
-Donna will join me in July to participate in the Israel Vocal Arts Institute in Yafo
-Beginning in the fall, I will be the student cantor at Temple Beth Shalom of Annapolis/Arnold, MD

It's hard to believe two years have gone by, but in the meantime life has been good to Mr. & Mrs. Breitzer. Perhaps during this summer in Israel we'll be able to post more regularly!
