I've Been Scarce of Late...

...and it's not going to improve much until the last week of October. Jewish holidays are in the middle of the week this year (in order: Tues-Wed, Thurs, Tues-Wed, Tues-Wed), plus there's this legal holiday next week, plus my regular away-ness for Shabbat. So, yeah. Not much time to post. I'll be doing the end-of-NYC-trip reports as soon as I have time.

So I will end off here with one brief anecdote from yesterday. As we were leaving shul for the (two hour!) break between mussaf and mincha, reporteraliza and I saw a guy running *toward* shul carrying a container of salt. He appeared to be in quite a rush. reporteraliza and I briefly speculated on what sort of emergency might require a quick application of salt, but we didn't come up with anything (my best suggestion was sad cow missing its salt lick).

We had a long break because I go to a no-nonsense davening on Yom Kippur.

And then we did the fastest ma'ariv *ever* right after the shofar was blown. People wanted to daven, but they wanted to go home and eat, too.

I love our minyan.

Wow, I wish! :-)

Mine was VERY long. Lubavitch folks have the marathon Yom Kippur service.
