Anyway, more on all of this (including Shabbat) later. Next time from Austria!

Warsaw today, Vienna tomorrow!
Tomorrow I'll write a longer post about my last Shabbat in Eastern Europe, but now it's time to go to bed, since I have an early morning flight to Vienna tomorrow! You may or may not have caught this, but my trip as a whole is generally meant to be chronologically mirroring my grandparents' lives in Europe: Visiting their hometowns represented pre-war life, visiting Krakow and my research here in Warsaw represented life during the war, and now I'll be visiting Vienna, Salzburg, and Prague, representing post-war life in Europe. Mama Manya and Papa Joe met and were married in Salzburg, and hopefully we'll get to see where they lived there! I'll be in Israel last, and that part of the trip (and the trip back home) will represent choices regarding where to settle down after the war, since Israel and America were the main places survivors went.
