For services for Kabbalat Shabbat, I went with Jen to Yikar, a local synagogue with the rep of being organized by the Rabbi as an intentional meet market—I was curious to see how much of a parade the whole thing really was, and had heard a great deal about it. It wasn’t as bad as I had expected, and the davaning, as the shul is carlebach, was actually very nice.
The first Shabbat of the new year was an in Shabbat, and an especially interesting one, as it is the first since we have had a 50% increase in girls, so our meals would have more than 50 people at each. Expecting 50 people to know what their jobs are for the meal, and to do them without needing to be chased, is expecting too much.
The meal itself went so late, and the room was so crowded, that instead of staying for the official fabrengen, Naomi, Sara, Nechama and I snagged some goodies and fabrang on our own in our room until I fell asleep.
Saturday I stayed in bed until after 1pm, went to the meal, and then went nearly back to bed. Rest is good.
