reading torah
I'm reading torah Shabbat morning in our minyan, so a few weeks ago I asked my rabbi if I could also read Friday night. (Most Reform congregations read Friday nights because that's when most people come.) He said yes, and I'm looking forward to it. I like reading in the morning minyan because we're all friends and there's a lot of ruach (spirit) in the group. Friday night, on the other hand, is a chance to read for the larger community.
It turns out that it'll probably be larger than usual tomorrow, too. I didn't know this when I picked the portion, but both the congregational choir and the youth choir are participating, and that usually draws more people out of the woodwork.
I had hoped to get a look at the sefer torah tonight after minyan, but partway through the drive home from work it became apparent that attending the minyan wasn't going to happen. (There wasn't time to drop off the cat at home and slide over there in time, and going straight there and taking the cat in with me seemed contra-indicated.) Maybe if I get there early enough tomorrow night I can sneak a look. If not, oh well -- I do have a tikkun to practice from, so I'm not expecting trouble. But it's always nice to get a peek to confirm.
