Subject: [TBB] Making a minyan

Dear Friends,

This coming weekend is, of course, Memorial Day weekend, which calls to mind the famous question in the Mishnah:
from when do we go to the Cape? Shammai says, from Memorial Day weekend. Hillel says, Oy, the traffic! Better you should stay in town and help make a minyan -- and if not now, when? The Mishnah leaves the disagreement unresolved. But bear in mind that on the thousands of college campuses in America, you will not find a single Shammai Organization.

Hope to see you in shul, and a good holiday weekend to all.

Rick


Note for non-locals: "the Cape" is Cape Cod, the sticky-out part of Massachusetts, and a popular weekend getaway spot.
