January 14th ~ Mazel Tov and my angels

Ok ~ I've been pouting....because I thought no one was reading my blog anymore.. (sigh)....I didn't know I'd come to depend on an audience. lol

For some reason Blogger isn't notifying me of your comments in my email anymore.... arghhhhhh But at least I got smart and noticed that some replies were made. Yippeeeee! :)

Anyway, so today we went to my very first Bat Mitzvah.

HOLY MOLY....(is that sacrilegious? lol) It was SOOOOOO neat!

We didn't bring MissM with us....because she didn't think she'd be able to sit still that long...(good decision!)...but the boys did great and they loved it too.

I love religions. I've mentioned that before. I like knowing about all of them. The chants and songs in Hebrew were so neat....and we tried to follow along as best we could. Where the pronounciations were spelled out, we made a good attempt to sing along. And where they weren't spelled out, I really enjoyed just listening. (Ok...and I admit I felt a little jealous that I couldn't folloow along there. lol)

The Rabbi (a young woman) did a great job of explaining to us what was happening throughout...and the young lady who was being bat mitzvah'd was soo cute and so excited. Glowing. :) She had to give a sermon at the end to show that she understood all that was happening during the service....and that she understood the readings that she was saying in Hebrew.

What a sense of humor she had. She had the whole group of us laughing at her very sweet, sometimes pointed, and very wise observations.

Ok...I'm going to try again to post a pic of my snow angels. A friend shrunk the size of the file for me....maybe that will be the trick. Here goes:

Drats...one more time.....or maybe I can't have any type already in the post... hmmm.... I'll make a new blank page.
