    Guess there was a reason the ticket was so cheap 😉

    Chances are that he will meet people on the flight that are going to Antwerp (45 mins)who can:

    a) Show him the hourly bus to Antwerp and return;

    b) give him a ride.

    Antwerp has late Shachris minyonim, kosher supermarkets and restaurants. In November, sunrise is around 8 AM!. Can’t daven much earlier than that.

    He can visit the bourse (diamond exchange). If it pulls him, he can see the well-known Rebbe, Reb Leibush.

    The kever of Reb Itzikel Zatzal is not too far away. Maybe his new-found friends will hire a taxi together and be misspallel at that mokom kodesh.

    One thing for sure: he can use his time well if he has the inclination. (In Brussels, there are guided tours; but mostly churches etc.).

    BRU airport has a shul.

    Fuhr g’zinteheit.

    I would love to hear how it worked out. It may help other people.

    If you can trust your husband to travel by all by himself to Israel, you can probably trust him to find a Kosher Restaurant in Antwerp! (The restaurants with Arab lettering are probably not recommended, even though the owners have beards and the women are covered up).

    Moot? Maybe with all the great ideas, the trip was extended. Not only that, Mrs is flying out for the weekend.

    I mean, chocolate….

    Not moot. This is all happening next week so keep the suggestions coming. To Yoin, he is capable but I feel bad because I bought the ticket and misunderstood when I bought it. I thought the stopover was only 4 hours.
