Last Supper in Israel

We just got back from the beach and are preparing for a barbecue that our hostel has decided to host for us!   Koby and Dror will be here, and it's sure to be an eventful night!  At the beach, they had set up a stage and we heard music coming from it.  I went to investigate and, after a few inquiries, discovered that it was the rehearsal for the final show of Israeli Idol or whatever they call it here.  They said I could walk past the barriers that were up, so I went right in front of the stage while they were setting up and got serenaded by the final contestants for an hour or so.  Some guys came over to talk to me and were nice.  One man came over and asked me if I was a part of the show.  When I said no and that I had just heard the beautiful music and came to listen, he introduced himself as the producer of the show and shook my hand.  I really wish I had a camera and knew how to vote, cause I'm rooting for the first (small-framed) guy I heard.  I really love it here and would love to visit again....perhaps, over my spring break I'll spend a few days in Tel Aviv if I can find someone to go with and get contact info for the people we've been working with.  Koby, Rami, and Dror have all offered to house me if I come back, but we shall see.
