We were really lucky and privileged to have been able to attend my cousin Yisrael's wedding in Jerusalem after only being in Israel less than 2 months. For those who don't know, my cousins (most of them) are what are called Haredim or Ultra-Orthodox Jews. Their traditions are rich and the weddings are crazy, but a lot of fun! I was able to see most of my cousins (some for the first time ever) and spend time with my uncle Gary who thinks I'm going to solve the world's problems. Despite some of the "issues" many Israelis have with the Haredim, they are extremely spiritual, warm, passionate and accepted us with open arms. I hope to see this part of my family again while we are here in Israel.
The wedding was great! There was lots of dancing, drinking under the table (almost literally), and general mayhem. There are more photos and some video (starring the fire juggler) in our web album.

There was only one disappointing thing... no cake :(
