Bageling Spanish Style
A few years ago my wife and I attended a conference in Puerto Rico that lasted over shabbos. What to do on a beautiful shabbos afternoon in PR? We grabbed a few sodas/waters from our room, a couple of novels & headed out to sit by the pool & enjoy a shabbos afternoon relaxing stretch.
No sooner had we gotten comfortable than a few young kids in bathing suits (“kids” seem to be getting older & older these days - they were probably 19-20!) sat down in the chairs next to us. We couldn’t help but overhear the conversation - two of them were trying to convince the third how much of a positive experience he would have if only…he would travel to Israel on a Birthright tour!
Their final word? “Just ask that couple (us) - they’ll tell you the same thing!”
Bageled in the Caribbean!
