Jewish New Year

Beth El Hebrew Congregation was a welcoming place to spend the High Holy Days, and we especially appreciated the daytime services for families with young kids, and Rabbi Isserow's fabulous drash at Kol Nidre. Outside of shul, it was great to have Michelle, Jonathan, Joanna and Sage with us for dinner on Rosh Hashanah. When he wasn't overwhelmed by the whirlwind of big girls, Sam loved playing with them (and their Barbies).





Our Yom Kippur Break-fast was graced by Steven and Jen, along with Elise, Eric, Sarit and Gavi. Special guest star Sam refused to go to sleep with a party outside his door, and ran around in his PJs like a maniac. We played a game of "who's traveled where." Elise, Eric and family have so many countries on their list that they have very strict rules, "must have spent a night there," "must have visited a major tourist attraction," "no counting countries that don't exist anymore." Playing by their rules was pretty humbling for us, Steven and Jen. After a few more decades in the FS, we just might catch up with them. :)
