The sunsets in Shiloh, especially in the summer, are usually very dramatic, like the winter's sunrises. But that day it was different, hot and tired like we all were.

Subtle Sunset
There was a very mellow look to the sunset the other day when I was walking up the hill after going to Kever Rachel, Rachel's Tomb.

At Tel Shiloh
I went there today with some neighbors. I'll blog about the visit, with pictues of course, on Shiloh Musings.
This is the third time I've gone down there recently.This time we more than doubled our numbers.
I've stopped going to Kever Rachel. I feel all stressed out in Kever Rachel, and it's not from the traveling. It's all walled in and very crowded. It's depressing.
I'm not all that crazy about praying by a grave.
I can walk to Tel Shiloh from my house. It's about a mile. The area is beautiful; you can feel G-d's presence. There's a calm, shalva, peacefulness.

Oy, lots to do today
I can't believe I did so much yesterday.
In the morning I went to Jerusalem for a whole bunch of errands. Then I took the bus to Beit El to teach two classes. Then I rushed out and met the bus at Givat Assaf (Tzomet HaTee) to Kever Rachel, which I'll write about on Shiloh Musings.
What I didn't do was my usual Thursday morning cooking. That means that I have to cook everything today before Shabbat! Also, we've ended up with a lot of guests and the Shiur Nashim, Shabbat Women's Torah Class. Baruch Hashem, Thank G-d. I have a few kugels in the freezer, and I guess I'll take one out. That's what they're for.
This week is the Shavuot Holiday, and we'll be having a shiur by my next door neighbor in the afternoon, in English, which we do every year. So, G-d willing, it's a good week. And, yes, G-d willing I'll post the KCC on Sunday. All I have to do is "copy it" from Word to blogger and add any last minute submissions, hint, hint!
Oh, and my husband mentioned something about a NY Times reporter coming, gevalt. The weather seems nice; maybe he can do the interviewing out of the house.
Shabbat Shalom
