We arrived as Shabbat was ending and stayed with Mara and Yermi and their lovely family. It was great to witness the prayers at the end of Shabbat and there traditions,in closing they hand around a spice box to smell,the reason being to start the week with a nice fragrance in your senses,nothing biblical just a nice tradition.Abraham named this town which means well of the oath,you find it in Genesis 21.30 Mara is a social worker helping some Bedouin women and Yermi is a retired banker who is studying the Talmud.
