This weekend is Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year.
I’d like to wish a happy and sweet new year to all.
“L’shana tova, tikatevu”
Nurit organized Rosh Hashana dinner at her parents house with the girls. With all of the issues we have had in the last year this was no small feat. The food was excellent and the event was filled with sweet nostalgia. After dinner and again on Saturday morning we went to services at PJTC where Rabbi Grater gave two excellent sermons. One on the idea of seeing the butterflies not the diving bells in life and the other about the changes in our small Jewish community. The weekend has inspired me to attend services more often and become a better member of the local community. Stay tuned.

What does Rabbi Grater have against diving Bells?
It was a reference to a book titled “The Diving Bell and the Butterfly” About a guy who was completely paralyzed. he communicated by blinking. The diving bell was a metaphor for the trap we are all in. I haven’t read the book.
