We just booked plane tickets for our first international tiyul — we're heading to Amsterdam for Hannukah! Ben has visited several times but I have never been. So far, we've made reservations at a fancypants restaurant in a restored hothouse and contacted a progressive synagogue about their "kabalat sjabat" services. We've also learned from a friend living in nearby Leiden that we'll be in the Netherlands for the biggest holiday of the year: Sinterklaas, where apparently men dressed as Santa Claus are followed by cronies in blackface who hand out candy to children. Any suggestions about what also to do, see, or eat while we're there?
