Back home

My dear Friends
I have now been back for more than a week.Here in Cambridge the sun is shining and I am sitting in the UL, which is the university library. I am going to write up the second part of my little book, which as you know was published three years ago. The book goes from 1999 which is when I finished the last part. It is taking a little more time than the last one, but if I persever I am sure it will be finished.
Here the university term is beginning again, and I have an invitation to one of the colleges for dinner. I will also be returning to my own college, Lucy Cavendish, a woman's college, where I studied Hebrew between 1988 and 1992. It was a beautiful experience.
I have started teaching some Hebrew and some things about the festivals to a group of Christians in Cambourne, a village outside Cambridge. It has been the Jewish festivals of the New Year and the Day of Atonement and it is coming up to the Feast of Tabernacles. All these I celebrated in my Jewish childhood and they are beautiful feasts.
Till next time
Shalom from
Sister Gila
