L'Shana Tovah!
Having landed in a Christian seminary after six years of teaching in an Orthodox Jewish school, I feel a bit bereft as I take note of Erev Rosh Hashana without the atmosphere of celebration to which I've become accustomed.

I will make a point of noting the significance of the evening when I reach my spiritual direction class tonight.

To a good year!

Thank you, GG. And while I know that you aren't praying for inscription in the Book of Life, I do hope that your spiritual year is a fulfilling one.

What a spectacularly well rounded and richly informed pastor you are going to be!! This is really cool.

Thank you for sharing this with us AND with your class tonight!

amen.

I spent a year working for a Jewish Community Center when I was doing an internship for my MSW. I loved celebrating all the fall festivals with them. At that same time my daughter had a good friend who was Jewish, so she too was celebrating them. And one of my good friends and Bible study partners was a rabbi...

so, not in the same way, but in a similar way, I understand.

I hope you find some celebration for this night and the new year.
