Tisha B'av in צפת


Bochurim following along during Rabbi Chaim Kaplan's beautiful rendition of Eicha
Apparently even Tisha B'av is happening at  ישיבת קיץ צפת, between the davening, eicha, kinos, and the special videos it was a jam-packed day (would've been nice if they allowed bean throwing).



It really didn't feel like just a long fast, and the Break Fast was definitely worth it (especially for the Rambam doers- freshly squeezed OJ), what a way to end the fast. So apparently they announced for us to go fill up our waterpaks which can only mean one thing: another awesome trip (or a false alarm). Be sure to stay up to date on our next exotic trip (wherever it may be). Have a great night or an easy fast if you are still fasting, then of course have a great night as well.

Just saying...he is my cousin


That's pretty cool




Staying cool with a portable fan


Gotta get comfortable

I am also exceedingly comfortable in my current position

No pizza on Tisha B'av

Too bad



Sleeping away

The soothing sound of Eicha can put even the boldest amonst us to sleep

You better not put up that picture


Post-Eicha cleanup party

Is it a broom or a rake?

A chossid is always resourceful


"Instead of standing there...give us a hand"










The 2 Frenchies









Who is that man?



Busted!!

Take your pick... The Kineret or Arizal mikvah




The juice maker machine






Now we can eat





That was actually amazing orange  juice


"You can't tell that I'm wearing PJs...right?"


"Is this enough?"




This is my favorite type of soup in the world







Thank you Simcha!!
