Kol Nidre 2026

or 5787 if you prefer, I can manage both calendars but it does prove to be an ongoing challenge.  I have other wise made this a quiet day. Extra sleep, cat in the lap, on the shoulder, hanging out under the covers near my feet,

Go figure, no clue why he has been so clinging for the last several days but go figure.

But anyway. I have pretty much stopped attending services in person since we moved here, and absolutely since the pandemic hit. One of the positives from that is that several synagogues started streaming their services.  Central Synagogue out of NYC has maintained that tradition which, as the Rabbi mentioned this evening, increases their attendance by thousands.

So, for those for whom it may apply, think over the past year, make plans for the new, and have a tolerable fast.

About Holly

fiber person - knitter, spinner, weaver who spent 33 years being a military officer to fund the above. And home. And family. Sewing and quilting projects are also in the stash. After living again in Heidelberg after retiring (finally) from the U.S. Army May 2011, we moved to the US ~ Dec 2015. Something about being over 65 and access to health care. It also might have had to do with finding a buyer for our house. Allegedly this will provide me a home base in the same country as our four adult children, all of whom I adore, so that I can drive them totally insane. Considerations of time to knit down the stash…(right, and if you believe that…) and spin and .... There is now actually enough time to do a bit of consulting, editing. Even more amazing - we have only one household again. As long as everyone understands that I still, 40 years into our marriage, don't do kitchens or bathrooms. For that matter, not being a golden retriever, I don't do slippers or newspapers either. I don’t miss either the military or full-time clinical practice. Limiting my public health/travel med/consulting and lecturing to “when I feel like it” has let me happily spend my pension cruising, stash enhancing (oops), arguing with the DH about where we are going to travel next and book buying. Life is good!
