or  Leshana tova tika’teivu vete’chatemu    which roughly translates.. Happy new year, may you be enscribed in the book of life.

Today starts Rosh Hashona ראש השנה The head of the year.. Tonight is Ereve Rosh Hashana.. literally New years eve.. and what am i doing ? I’m hanging out wiht my family at home, helping my son with his homework.

and that  where I want to be .. These last few years I’ve really struggled to find my self in organized religion. As much as I like the music, the food, the neurosis of my cultural upbringing, i can’t get my head around the organized practice of any religion.including my own. I think it’s largely due to the spiritual awakening I’ve had since Sam’s passin.   It’s funny, because I’ve never felt more spiritually alive or alert.

Just because I’m not goign to synagog doesn’t mean I can’t pull still tap into soem of the stuff that does have meaning to me. The next ten days are  the most important part of the year. Between now and Yom Kippur Jews everywhere will introspect and figure out what adjustments needed to be made in the machinery of their lives. I’m in a good place for doign that right now.. I feel pretty solid and focused.. and there are a big pile of improvements and tweeks I could use to make in the coming year.

It’s also a time for apologizing to folks I may have wronged in the previous year. I’ll be thinking aout that as welll

Right now I’m htinking of slicing up an apple and dipping it in honey and hoping for a sweet yer for us all

L’shana tova everyone !

nite all, nite sam
