morning minyan

[cellio]

It's good to sit in the congregation every now and then. I've been leading the morning service for something over a year now. A couple days ago I got a phone call -- would I be willing to defer to another leader on "my" day for a special occasion? Yes, of course -- not a problem, I said. So this morning I heard someone else lead, and picked up a few nuances. And they gave me an aliya, too. :-) (They've never given me one while I was leading, nor would I want them to. Leading is already an honor; give the honor of an aliya to someone else.)
