A happy and sweet New Year to all of the Jews who read my blog (and those who don’t).

Shana tovah

Filed under: Holidays, Religion — Tags: — Meryl Yourish @ 3:00 pm

A sweet and healthy new year to my fellow Jews.

Posting will be light for the next 24 hours.

In a few hours, I’ll be at the G. household, with apple cake in hand. It’s the one and only baked good I make from scratch. Then we’ll all go to their synagogue tonight. I’m going to visit my old synagogue tomorrow and see how the new rabbi does. She’s a she. I’ve had women cantors before, but not rabbis. (I think it’s the year of the woman or something.)

Glorious Fourth

I never get tired of posting this:

Old Glory waving in the breeze

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

I will not be going to Fort Lee this year. I’ll be celebrating at Chesterfield County Fairgrounds with Sarah and family. (My big job of the day: Going to Chesterfield Berry Farm, an awesome produce place, and getting the corn.)

I have checked my email for the day, and will be filling out my electronic timesheet as soon as this post is done. For the rest of the day, well, it’s a holiday. I’ll be back after the fireworks. I hope my cobloggers are taking a break as well.
