Happy new years all. I \u00a0didn’t manage to take off any of today as \u00a0had intended.. it turned out to be an even busier work day than usual.. but I had an interesting opportunity. I was feeling pretty burned out and sad late in the day when I saw a group of Orthodox Jews.. some whom I knew.. walking down towards the lake near sunset. I quickly realized that they were going to do Tashlich.. literally ‘to cast’ .. on Rosh Hashona, jews everywhere walk to the side of a body of water and ritually through their sins in.. Interestingly, the water must have fish in it for it to ‘take’ ..<\/p>\n

I \u00a0drove down part way to the lake, then ran down to catch up. Several folks in the group i knew including my friend Daniel .. We all gathered at the shore of the lake. \u00a0A young man came up and aced me if i’d heard the Shofar .. the rams horn trumpet.. yet this year . you are supposed to hear it during Rosh Hashonna.. When I answered that I had not.. eh gave me a private concert.. )Tequila godolahhhhhhhhhh !. \u00a0 \u00a0)<\/p>\n

We waited for near sundown then the Rebbi lead us through the Tashlich prayers.. it revolves around the 9 attributes of g-d.. e.g. slow to anger.. ( a good one. ) At the end of the prayer some through bread in the water.. others just shake their prayer shawls.. \u00a0symbolizing the casting away of the last years sins..<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I just stood there and admired the sunset.. \u00a0i had sins .. i’m sure.. i just have a short memory.<\/p>\n

We then walked back up the hill.. I had a really nice talk with one of the guys in the group.. .. made for a good end to the day<\/p>\n

Happy new year all. , Happy new year Sam<\/p>\n
