Day Fourteen - Shabbat, Presentation at Beit Warszawa, Good Bye Dinner, Farewells,

After a good night's rest, We headed to services. Beit Warszawa held a beautiful morning service led by the passionate Rabbi Schuman who is a former New Yorker and extremely welcoming. I was called up for the first Aliyah and the congregation as a whole was so glad to have us there. After the morning service and some great Shabbat singing, Rabbi Katz led a heated Torah study session. Rabbi Katz is an incredibly interesting man. He is the newer Rabbi of Beit Warszawa and his presence on the staff shows the growing membership and needs of the congregation. Katz is openly gay, and to be an openly gay Rabbi in Poland puts him in a category of being an extreme minority. His style of giving sermons and teaching is exciting and fun and he really got the congregation involved in the readings.
Leah and I spent our afternoon buying flowers and creating bouquets for our dear Kasia and Kaja and preparing our presentation that we gave to Beit Warszawa. The presentation went well and we were warmly received by a rather good sized audience. We discussed our experience as a whole and spent time speaking about the different surprises we came across about Polish culture, especially the general attraction towards Jewish people and culture.
After our presentation, we went to a wonderful dinner with Kasia, Kaja, some other friends we made at the Museum, and some friends from Beit Warszawa. We had an absolute blast. At one point in our dinner, every person from our table was on the dance floor singing and dancing. We were all so happy to have had such an eye-opening and exciting experience, and all our happiness came out on that dance floor.
After our delicious and fun filled meal, we went back to our apartment and met up with some more friends from the Museum. We had a little celebration and gave Kasia and Kaja our hand made bouquets and thanked them for all there hard work and dedication for creating such a powerful and impressive program.

Sleep time. Flight in the morning. Faewwell Poland. Honestly, we could not have asked for more.
