L'shanah Tovah, my friends,
And for the mathematically inclined,
L'chaim & L'shalom.
And for the mathematically inclined,
as we count down to the new year,
it's perhaps fun to note that ...
321 * 18 = 5778
L'chaim & L'shalom.

How long do you think I will last during my sermon? I've already heard it.

Well, if you snore all the way through it then maybe they'll learn a lot more than they usually do.
Hey, have a great holiday, my rabbi & friend.
Going to shul tonight, but unfortunately my internship is having me work tomorrow, and my class for university meets Thursday nights. Still, I'm gonna engage with what I can.

Rabbi told a funny joke today during services.
A Jewish women was in secular court getting a divorce which the judge bestowed upon her. The woman muttered "Now all I need to do is obtain a Get.". The Judge asks what a Get is. The woman says "Oh, it's just a religious thing." Understanding dawns on the judge's face, "Ah, it is a ceremony, like a bris, right?" The woman replies "No, those are not the same. With a Get, I toss out the entire schmuck."

Just a thought which dawned on me during davening -- in the mussaf Amida, the text quotes Numbers 23:21. Check out that verse and the rashi on it and the complexion and purpose of the day becomes much more than it already is. Why am I a middle aged man and just realizing this?

Be aware that when you type a biblical reference on this site, it automatically links to a christian bible. In this case, the linked verse incorrectly refers to the shout of a king. The correct verse from the Tanakh refers to the King's friendship.
To prevent linking my posts to a christian bible, I insert spaces into the reference. Ex. N u m 23:21.
