It can be easy being green...

Tonight, after a few days of feverish work, Hebrew presentations and more, I decided (despite the fact that I have a Hebrew test tomorrow) that it was necessary to get out of the grind and soak up some events going on here in Jerusalem. First stop of the evening was a "Reuse" art exhibit and fashion show at the wonderful Mercaz, a unique combination of an absorption centre, community centre and activism centre founded by Young Judaea and Hadassah on the principles of Zionism, Jewish Pluralism and Social Activism. The event was fun, in a warm green way, and took me back to student days at Montreal's Casa del Popolo. Following that we headed down Emek Refaim street in the German Colony (a gorgeous old, though not ancient old, Jerusalem neighbourhood) to a lovely crafts, clothing and food fair with live music. After some enjoyable browsing and a mango sorbet (mmm....), I feel much more ready to get back to class. ;-)
