Happy New Year

So this year on Rosh Hashanah I got to actually take part. All my life I have just been a spectator, but now I am part of a Jewish community. On the first day I was honored to take the Torah out of the ark and carry it around for people to reach out and touch. Mia had a small little Torah and she and all the other children marched behind me. On the second day I was call upon to lift the torah and put it away. I love doing these things.


Lisa did an aleah on the second day. She would have done one on the first day too but she was teaching a pre-k class all about Rosh Hashanah. The Chico Jewish community has been good for my family and good for my soul.

The first time

Ok this is my blahhhg. Let us see what the future may bring.

Oh look, this is my beautiful daughter on her first day of school. What could be better.
