Eric.. It's hard reaching for connections when more and more we seem allergic to any notion of serving the commonweal. We're in it for ourselves now. Somehow, we find it harder summoning the simple faith in the institutions that give form and direction to our lives. They used to be a better fit and I hope we get it back.
I think for now I'll rely on the Dodgers to return the earth to its axis. As I write this the Dodgers are 1 out away from taking game 1 against Cincinnati in the NLWC.
Haven't listened to the sermon yet, but may have the chance before we leave for our pre-fast meal at Luke's, kind of a happy hour before the get serious hour, which is Kol Nidre service.

I’m with you, Mark. But the game was a runaway that almost turned into another bullpen meltdown.
Living in Jerusalem and watching the behavior of the ultraorthodox has badly eroded the last sparks of faith that I might have had.
The return of the hostages has brought some joy to our country that badly needs it.
I am happy for you that the Dodgers have so far answered your prayers! I hope the good lord follows suit!
Glad you got some of your guys back. It's been a painful two years to say the least.
I listened to that sermon and sent it around too. Very inspiring. I went to that shul last year for the high holidays, it’s great.
Very cool! I’ve never been there but may check it out at some point too.

Great! It's pretty impressive.
Happy new year my former neighbor!
Thanks, Jeff. You too! I'm guessing your kids are no longer throwing things over the back fence of wherever they're living now,
It would be a long throw. Sam is in Japan!
Very cool. He better start working on that arm!
