Lis noticed that, in two years, Talk Like a Pirate day will fall on Rosh Hashana.

When we informed my parents of this, my mother, who typically runs High Holiday Services at her community, got very thoughtful and said, "Remind me of that a month before, because I'm not going to remember, and it ought not pass without recognition."

My father thought a moment, and said, "Arrr! Who by cannon, and who by cutlass. Who by scurvy, and who by walkin' tha plank. . . "

I shared Lis' blog post on the subject with the Pirate Guys a couple of days ago, and I'm afraid I may have inspired them. To quote Cap'n Slappy: "Do we know any rabbis?"

I realized that Yom Kippur might be paradoxically easier, just requiring periodic exhortions to "Hold fast, mateys!"

I do! I know a Rabbi with a BIG ol' sense of humor. Very good piratitude she's got. Be glad to put y'all in touch.... ;)
