Today we had school, even thought I feel that we should have off to get ready for the Chagim. We had an all school including the Gan and all the staff Birkot Rosh Hashana. it was really cute, the kids all sang and we had wine, apples/honey, and cake. Did a special text study in Hebrew class about a Rabbi looking for someone to blow the shofar for Rosh Hashana. He gets 3 people and chooses a simple man whose main concern is supporting his family. It was a nice little story.

Had a really great liturgy class with Gingy today. We spoke about Rosh Hashana tfillot and Slichot. I did not know before but Sephardim start at the beginning of Elul while Ashkenazi do it after the Shabbat before Rosh Hashana or at least 4 days prior to R.H. He read us a story by I.L. Peretz which was really interesting. We spoke about the Shofar and he has made each of the sounds into a phrase, the funniest is Shevarim= happy happy happy, T'kiah G'dolah=Neeeeewwww Yeeeaaaarrrrrrrrr

Went with Owen to Pomerantz books and got my Machzor. Meandered around Ben Yehuda and came home.
