Fayetteville continued...

On Wednesday we made four more visits in Fayetteville. We started out at 10:00 AM when we met with Jacob Adler, a Philosophy professor at University of Arkansas as well as an ordained reconstructionist Rabbi. We met at the Hillel house that is also home to the local Temple Shalom (reform) as well as a Hebrew/Sunday school, and weekly parsha study for adults, led by Jacob Adler. We spent a half hour there - time shortened due to getting lost - and then we went back to our hotel. We collected everything and checked out and we returned to the home of the person that was on the long distance call and couldn't see us the day before. Didn't spend long there, as he was rushing out. Then we went to Dr. Boris Schein, a math professor at the university. He was not home but we met with his wife and spoke with her for a little while telling her about all the things that the new chabad center opening up in two weeks in Northwest Arkansas will provide. She was very excited and very thankful. From there we went to Dr. Daniel Levine, professor of Greek studies (language, culture, etc.) also at U of A. Dr. Levine put on teffilin and bought a book and was very excited to see us, although I think we offended his wife when we didn't shake her hand... Oh well. From there it was off to Bentonville, headquarters of WalMart...
