Reply To: Allow myself to introduce… myself

Rabbi Sinclair at Ohr Somayach tells of how he became orthodox… he was dragged to a shacharis minyan to be a “tzenter” so someone could say kaddish. As he said, “we finished praying, and then they opened the bar.” So I’d enjoy a schnapps during working hours. Thank you :-).

Atlanta is warm and sunny. We have the perfect Sukkos weather. Not too hot anymore, and never cold. Kosher food could get scarce. B’H one Costco carries glatt kosher meat now. And grape juice is a steal! I still drive up to Brooklyn with my father a few times a year to go grocery shopping. I”YH, I’ll be in Brooklyn for Chol Hamoed.

Our little community in the suburbs is fighting over where and whether to have a communal Rosh Hashanah dinner on Sunday night. What was supposed to be 5 families sharing the cooking turned into 60 people wanting to freeload. They come for the food, not the davening (like, we start Mincha at 7, they’ll show up around 9).

I’m getting my shofar warmed up. My 7th year in a row as baal tokeah! And I’m trying to write my drasha for Rosh Hashanah. We don’t have a rabbi (we did, he got bought out by another shul). Any thoughts on topics would be appreciated. I covered all the basics the last few years.

Do other people’s kids come home from school each day with new Rosh Hashanah songs?
