Good morning!
It's been a couple of really good days, very busy, and very rewarding.
Tuesday we went for a historical cultural experience. We went to the tenement museum and learned about the life of immigrants in the late 1800's, and early 1900's, living conditions were not great to say the least.
We then went to the famous Katz's deli, and I had the biggest Matzah ball I had ever seen, an egg cream (my first ever, and it was tasty), a knish, and a piece of the best cheesecake ever. 
we then toured the Eldridge Synagogue, and let me tell you, it was beautiful beyond compare. and yes it still functions as a shul today.
Tuesday night we had a movie out reach, and we showed a good Jewish movie, An American Tail. Faivel Mousecowitz, and his family leave Russia to escape the pogroms of the cats, and the story piggy backs on the history of the Russian Jewish community, of course it was animated, and the kids loved it, however a few of us adults loved it too.
Yesterday we started the day off with a wonderful time of chapel, the worship was good, and the teaching was good. we then set off to Uptown, and did ministry in front of the Apple store (where I bought a brand new iPad, the latest model). We had some good ministry times, and as I was in the Apple store, I ended up talking to three Yeshivah students between the ages of 17 and about 22 (I am guessing), they did not take any tracts, but the did take Isaiah 53 cards, and were really interested. On Chasid man sent his son over to pick up an Isaiah 53 tract, and he put it into his pocket. I gave a tract to an orthodox man, he studied it for about five minutes, than he crossed the street, and studied it for another ten, I pray his eyes will be opened. We also had the opportunity to minister to, and pray for a young Jewish woman, and she was extremely open, and interested. Pray for Ronit. 
This was the last two days in a nutshell.
