Rosh Hashana

So, I chickened out on the Florida trip. We were supposed to go down to visit Lis's family for Rosh Hashana, but I hate flying in the best of times, and just chickened out on flying into a hurricane. Even though it looks like Ivan is going to totally miss Lis's folks' area. We got a credit from the airline, so we can reschedule.

This, of course, means that we now have to work out where we ARE going for Rosh Hashana. We've got several possibilities. Cherie Kohler-Fox is going to be running services for the first day, and we got an invite to go there, which we'd declined since we were going to be in Florida, but which we can phone up and find out if we can un-decline. For the second day, we probably will go to the shul where I work.

It's a bit odd -- I have never in my adult life paid for High Holiday tickets. I've always either been someone's guest, like when we go down to Florida, or gone to places where my mother or I work, so get I get comped in. So that's our next challenge.

Come to Tremont Street! There are unreserved seats in the balcony. I'm not sure how much they ask for, but I'm pretty sure it's sliding scale and they wouldn't turn anyone away. It would be loveloy to have you there. And give Cherie at al my love when you talk to them!

It looks like you already have invitations, but have you considered Havurat Shalom? They're often crowded, but they never charge for tickets -- they like being able to say everyone is welcome. That's where I'll be going, if my ability-to-cope-with-social-situations is sufficiently restored by then. I may well be hiding under the bed, or working.
