22nd September
East Jerusalem.
As well as bringing most of Israel to a halt, Yom Kippur also put a stop to my teaching. I now realise that organising lessons on this day is a mistake, as no one turned up. Strangely though, none of them mentioned the forthcoming problem when I agreed their lesson times.
I spoke with the pianist I have been hoping will be able to do the recital with me when I am home in October, and he is able to do it. I’m really looking forward to it now - it should be good fun as we are doing some really good repertoire and hopefully it will be a successful fundraising exercise. I’m also excited by the prospect of getting even a few people talking about the situation here.
I’m feeling a little unwell tonight, so have stocked up a bit at one of the local shops, and am hoping to wake up tomorrow feeling ok.
