Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

I’m Conversvative myself, and I would have understood your point twenty years ago. However, the Reform movement has changed a LOT in the last 20 years. Maybe the last ten. There’s way more Hebrew – last Reform service I attended was almost entirely Hebrew. They do away with a lot of the repetitions, they shorten much, but I think you’d find it a not unpleasant experience to try it. Perhaps even very pleasant (they don’t do the 500 standing up and sitting downs.) Just a suggestion for the new year.

L’shana tova to all.

I went about 10 years ago - my daughter, though secular, was involve in the Bnai Brith girls club. It didn’t seem all that different from the Reform Temples I went to for friends and relative bar mitzvahs 45 years ago. I do live in the Bay Area, and not in a very Jewish part of it.
I’m not objecting to the service I went to - it just didn’t bring back the happy memories if childhood.

I’m late to this party (and YK is already over), but I also beg forgiveness from the people here (and everywhere) I’ve offended, insulted, and cursed. I know there are at least a few.

As noted by kidneyfailure, I’m kind of late to the party. . .
But I hope all my observant Jewish Doper friends had an easy and productive fast, and whatever you may have said in the past year that may have possibly offended me (can’t think of anything offhand), please consider yourselves forgiven!

On CBC1 a couple of days ago, I heard a version of the music for Kol Nidre that was played on the sitar. Just incredible.
