The Wild Wild West

Shabbat on the West Bank was as exciting as I imagined there were at least 3 shootouts that we saw, and who knows how many that we didn't see. It was just like the old days of the USA, with cowboys and indians.

In reality, we had a very nice shabbat in Ariel, at no point did I feel insecure or unsafe. Friday night we ate by a guy from Montreal who moved to Ariel about 8 years ago. Shabbat Lunch we ate by a family ( The Urims) who spent a few years in Detroit with the Kollel Torah M'tzion, After Lunch we all went to the park and the kids were able to run around.

The other couples seemed really nice, we got to know them a little bit, one of couples is ready to move there right away, and we seemed to get along in the short time we hung out.

The Montreal guy drove us back to Modiin, and he took the back roads and got us home in about a half hour.
