Rest

3 March

Rest!

------------------------------------------------------

Rest--My legs begged for a day off, which was nice since it was Shabbat.

Shabbat--Today I read Haftarah at the shacharit service. Afterward someone in the congregation came up to me and told me I did a great job. I was totally surprised! I chant Torah, Haftarah, and lead tefillah all the time in services, and this time wasn't anything special. This wonderful person discovered my dream to become a rabbi, and she told me that I have "such an awesome stage presence on the bimah!" That TOTALLY made my entire day!

Purim--This is one of my favorite holidays. I sang in the musical that the 'gogue puts on every year. I also baked a TON of hamantaschen. Sometimes Jews are too boring, their traditions and such. Typical flavors include apricot, prune, poppy seed, and chocolate. My hamantaschen are different: chocolate mocha, cheesecake, apple pie, mixed nut and honey, raspberry, and cinnamon crunch. YUM! Hamantaschen don't have any calories if they're eaten on Purim.
