The fast went pretty fast for me. I went to Yeshiva Darchei Torah for the majority of the minyanim except for Shacharis/Mussaf. For that, I ended up in a neitz minyan that started at 6:12 and ended 11:45. no shlepping; lots of singing – nice davening.
Esther stayed home most of the time taking care of the little petchuchkella, Shaina.
Meanwhile, Chaya Melcer (and Menachem) had a baby boy! The bris is on the first day of sukkos in Brooklyn and we hope to be there to share in the simcha. May he be zoche to torah, chuppah, and maasim tovim!
gut g’bentched yar!
