Hey, sorry it has been so long. My mom flew out about two weeks ago and the whole first week was taken up with stuff for my friends wedding. And then I was trying to show my mom some of Israel before everything shut down. See last night was the beginning of Rosh Hoshana, and it lasts two days, and EVERYTHING closes for those days. Then when that ends Shabbot begins so from mid day Wed until Sat evening everything (for the most part) is closed. So Shano Tov Ah (think that is spelled correctly), Happy New Year.

But I have been having a blast with my mom out here. I don't want to see her leave in three days, but I guess that is part of life.
