Shofar, so good ...

(C'mon.)

I didn't know you were a member of the tribe.

I was going to start a thread titled 'To the Tribe...' just see how many people would scream 'WE HAVE A BASEBALL THREAD!'

Happy healthy to all. 5772, where has the time gone??

One of my daughter's teachers mentioned this week that it was 3XXX on the Jewish calendar. Poor kid is sitting there trying to decide whether to tell him he's only off by 2,000 years.

L'shana tovah tikateivu to all.

Best wishes, Jewish friends.

And thanks for all the bagels.

Don't you love wishing other Jews happy new year in September and seeing the puzzled look on the face of the goyem?

Happy and healthy new year to all of my fellow members of the tribe.

So ... what happened in the Year 2525? Or, to crossthread, 2112?

Nope, just another dirty goy. I have several close friends who are Reform Jewish and I've learned a lot about Jewish culture and traditions from them. In fact, I was invited this past year to a Seder.

There is a temple right next to the local football stadium that I walk past at every home game.

And here I was thinking you were referring to the number of posts BYH makes instead of satisfying his wife...

Just kidding. Happy New Year to all my Jewish friends and family!

 

[EStreetJoe]

L'Shana Tova to my fellow members of the tribe.

 

[waterytart]

An easy fast to all.

 

[Birdscribe]

An easy fast to all.

This. L'Shana Tova to my fellow MOTs -- observant and lapsed.

Also, Jill Painter of the LA Daily News -- a good friend of mine (full disclosure) -- wrote this nice piece on Jewish football players dealing with games on Yom Kippur.

I visited a local supermarket today to purchase two Yahrzeit candles to light tonight in memory of my dad and brother.

The checker commented "Oh, you're having a candlelight dinner."

I just continued sliding my ATM card and let the comment pass.

My wife is so miserable without coffee that I hate the last few hours of the fast even more. Add a 3 and 6 year old and what would be a mildly uncomfortable fast turns unbearable

There should be a medical exemption for coffee.

Many start detoxing a couple of weeks ahead of time - made it though. Wishing all a great year.

That's what I thought when I woke up this morning in complete caffeine withdrawal.

There should be a medical exemption for coffee.

Especially for those working night shift after Kol Nidre

Aren't they supposed to be off in exchange for working on Christmas? (Which, FTR, I think is a win-win system.)
