Another member of the "friends of ruth" mailing list (converts et al) turns out to be local. We exchanged some email last spring and then I was a klutz and lost her email address. She just got back in touch this week. We've never met, so she's going to come for dinner tonight after services. This worked out well, as it turns out that her husband and daughter are out of town this weekend so she would have been spending it alone otherwise.
She does have to sit through my cantorial pretensions, but she's ok with that. At least it makes identifying each other easy; she'll find me. :-) (She was, as it turns out, at Temple Sinai last week, not that either of us knew to look for the other. Her home congregation is Rodef.)
I enjoy putting actual faces and people with email addresses. I'm looking forward to it.
Hmm, last night there was a short discussion on the topic of responsibilities of board members. (Themes included the idea that you're always a board member, even in the check-out line at Giant Eagle, and what you do reflects on the congregation, and you're the eyes and ears of the board, and stuff like that. Those in the SCA can substitute "peer" for "board member" and recognize the ideas.) In light of that, I wonder if there are any PR-type issues with a trustee of one congregation playing a minor-but-public leadership role in a different congregation. *I* don't think so (if anything I think it brings honor to my congregation, not dishonor), but I wonder if anyone else would have issues with this. We've seen already that I do not really understand the synagogue-operations mindset.
