Rosh Hashana

[cellio]

Torah portion for Saturday: check.
Haftarah for Sunday: check.
Meals: check. (I have high hopes for the honey-glazed chicken.)
Amends made: not enough, but yeah.
Introspection and soul-searching: ongoing.

L'shana tova to those who celebrate. May 5770 be a sweet and prosperous year (please).

For the rest of you, happy weekend. :-)

An early Shanah tovah! to you -- we'll be away. Have a blessed holiday!

May you & yours be inscribed in the Book of Life (says the shiksa).

I don't think it's a Jew-only sentiment. :-)

(Just FYI, to inform and not to criticize, the word "shiksa" is considered offensive by some because it derives from a word that means "abomination". I don't care what you call yourself but thought you might want to know what it means.)

What gnomi said!

;-)

I'll never forget learning that particular phrase... in my ordinary (albeit private) elementary school when the rabbi of the major reform congregation in my neighborhood had been invited to talk to my third grade class about the Jewish holidays.

We won't mention how odd it was that I had to learn it there, and that I don't remember learning it at the J. Of course I also had to beg my parents to buy a menorah so...

A happy and healthy new year to you and your loved ones!

Different families and communities pay different amounts of attention to stuff like this, I guess. :-)

(We never got cool stuff like that in my (public) school when I was young.)

May you be inscribed for a good and sweet year.
