Coincidence? I think not!

During our short vacation in New York we encountered a few interesting things. Coincidences seemed to be chasing us around. Well… chasing me around at least.
This trip happened shortly after my post about Jewish toys and I should have realized that finding a Torah Toy in the gift shop of the Jewish Museum was no mere coincidence. Something was going on.


This photo was taken in the patio of our rented apartment. In it you can see the Torah toy, but also a book. A book which should be very familiar to many of the renegades. It was on the bookshelf in the apartment and how it came to be there is still a mystery.

The last thing I did in New York with my parents was to go to the UN building. After standing in line for the tickets and waiting for the tour to begin we were led through various areas of the building. When we got to the general assembly hall we were given some time to take photos. As I was checking out the various features of the hall I happened to look down at the chair next to which I was standing. Sure enough, it was chair number 56.



Coincidence? I think not!

New York, New York

Start reading the news, we went that way
We wanted to be a part of it – New York, New York
Rented an apartment, a place to stay
Right in the very heart of it – New York, New York


I woke up in a city, where my parents I'd meet
And we walked around – hurting our feet


My previous post, about toys for pray
I found a brand Torah toy – in old New York
If I don't buy it there, I'll never find it again
Thank you – New York, New York


New York, New York
I woke up in a city, where my parents I'd meet
And we walked around – hurting our feet
Walked around


Teresa then joined, in time for the parade
People dressed in fancy clothing – in old New York
New Yorkers with bonnets everywhere, all on their heads
It's Easter in – New York, New York
