morning minyan
In an odd twist of timing, the rabbi emeritus of the other synagogue showed up to services this morning. This is, I'm pretty sure, the first time I've seen him this year; he travels a lot and doesn't always come to minyan even when he's in town. But he was there today (with a guest).
He hadn't seen me lead that service before, and he said lots of complimentary things to me afterwards. He also said he was heading off (with said guest, who turned out to be someone from JNF or UJF or some other Jewish TLA) to a meeting with my rabbi and he was planning to say nice things to him about me. Heh -- I'm glad I had that conversation yesterday. :-) Later in the day I got email from my own rabbi commenting positively on this.
So I think my rabbi is supportive. Time will tell how this affects my leadership opportunities in my congregation. (The worship committee is meeting next week; I don't yet know if lay leadership for Friday nights is on the agenda.)
