We just got back from religious services. Odd choice for erev-new-year’s eve, but Andrew had a reading part and everyone was bringing menorahs and we’d all light them together. So we went.

The rabbi wasn’t there – the cantor led the service. Accompanied by her husband, who is our substitute cantor. It was a very sing-y service. Anyway, that’s not the good part.

The good part is the announcements at the end. The president of the congregation stood before us and told us of upcoming events. “And,” she added, “The rabbi asked me to tell you that regarding the Israel trip in June, there are a few seats left on the second bus if anyone is interested in joining us.”

Andrew and I looked at each other and burst (spit and all) into laughter. And then Reed told me that he hopes it’s not hot because you won’t be able to roll the windows down on the bus.

Oy vey!
