It's intersession at Dartmouth, which means I get to work 10-6, which means going to #shul for the first time in months!

And this Friday is our rabbi's first with us in 6 months - she's been off traveling on her sabbatical.

Looking forward to #Shabbat.

#Shul was transcendent. So much joy & love.

And the rabbinic intern filling in during our rabbi's sabbatical wrote and performed a letter from Esau to Jacob, written at the behest of Esau's therapist (who was named Deborah) that was fucking incredible and needs to be published so you can all read it. (My spouse cried.)

My heart is full, but I am dead on my feet. Hopefully spouse doesn't snore tonight and I can get more than 4 1/2 hours of sleep.

What an odd weekend it was to find myself in #synagogue #shul for the first time in many years - celebrating my great niece's batmitzvah, worrying about the health of my hospitalised mother, the intensity of grief and anxiety following the Hamas pogrom, and just to add a little spice to it, yahrzeit for my father - which, as it was a Reform synagogue, meant that I actually got to say Kaddish together with my sisters for the first time.
Jewish man shot after leaving morning services in Los Angeles

The victim had just left morning services when he was approached by a gunman driving a car. The suspect is still at large.

The Forward

Today: Curled up on the couch in PJ’s, sipping my coffee, watching some news atm.

Later: Hubs and Fourteen will be reading Torah so I’ll be heading to shul to support and watch.

No idea how to tag this, but that seems to be important here. So that others can find me: #Coffee #Relax #Torah #Shul #Mazeldon #LazySaturday

and now i'm extra sad bc the #jewish hashtag here is p empty and twitter-side it's too dangerous so I'm like extra isolated on weekdays now blargh
which is gonna be extra hard when I go for surgery next week and have to miss #shul for a week or two post-op
Bwaaaah I have songs from #Shul stuck in my head and I can't find anything on YT or iTUnes that remotely resembles the way it sounds in my head so I just have to be sad until Shabbat ;____; Especially Siman Tov u'Mazal Tov from the couple birthdays we celebrated last week it's SUCH A HECKIN' CUTE SONG OH MY GD #jewish
