My dear Friends
Quite some time ago now I met a Slovenian priest, Fr Jose Cracovits.We became good friends. So I was delighted when he emailed me recently to say one of his colleagues was coming to Cambridge with her family.
And so I met Irena, Tomas, Jurij and David. Irena researches in literature at the university of Llubljana. Her subject is Slovenian literature as opposed to world literature and she has written a book on Ivan Cankar, a Slovenian writer and dramatist who was influenced by Dostoevsky as well as Shakespeare. Her husband Tomas is curator for one of the museums in Llubljana, specialising in medieval collections for which he is responsible.
They came to my little flat this morning with their 2 boys, David and Jurij, who ate a lot of cake! We talked widely of many things, including music-Irena used to be in a proefessional choir-and I gave them a rendering of several songs in Hebrew. Irena and I sang Hava Nagilah together which was very joyful.
At the end of their visit they invited me to Slovenia, to Llubljana next summer, to visit this beautiful city with its castle and river and also to travel round Slovenia and see the lovely lakes. I do hope to go.
Enjoy your weekend
Shalom from
Sister Gila
