OK...I am new to this blogging phenomenon...but if Anderson Cooper can blog while hosting his show, I can at least try to blog a few times a week. Once I can get comfortable with blogging, maybe I can even give twitter a try.

Seems that in order to become au courant (That's current for you non French speakers-after all I have not totally forgotten the French I learned for umpteen years while growing up in Montreal), and to keep in touch with all of you out there, blogging is the next best thing since white bread (personally I prefer sliced Challah).

So here we go again:
I love hearing from friends after spending time in synagogue
The aftermath of the High Holiday services are always so interesing..."hated the Rabbi's speech" "Loved the Rabbi's Speech" "Did you see what she was wearing" "services...way too long" "Too much standing" "where was everybody this year"...etc etc.

That's what's so cool about our Jewih community...I have been hearing the same comments for years no matter where we have lived: Edmonton Alberta or Louisville Kentucky or Tampa Florida. We say we are one community....we cry when our brothers are in danger, we rejoice collectively in our triumphs and we kvetch (another French term) at the imperfections of our community....but at least we care enough to kvetch and hopefully care enough to make things better.

Happy Sukkot
