Hi, again!

Thank you, we had a very relaxing and pleasant ''rosh hashanah'' and ''shabbat''! Unfortunately, our guest had a cold, and she very generously passed it on to me -- so I've been fighting a cold most of this week, and now it's finally out of my sinuses and into my lungs. That's the last (and longest) stage of a "cold" for me, so expect me to be coughing for a couple weeks.

Anyway, the weather's been wonderful. In fact, September was ''below average'' temperature-wise, and October so far has also been. But a heat-wave is being forecast for early next week -- I just hope it is over before Wednesday when we start sitting in our ''sukkot''!

Our Hebrew discussion group met again this week, and it does look like some progress is being made. Esther and I have determined, though, that we need to give our "students" more of a background in the patterns which pervade the Hebrew language. Once they've grasped the patterns, it should be easier for them to learn.

Sarah's work continues to provide entertainment to all of us. This week, a woman (a "returning resident") came in while Sarah was busy helping others and answering phones. When it was her turn, she asked, "Are you Russian?", to which Sarah said, "No, I'm American". The woman responded, "Hmm. Americans are usually faster than that!". ''That'' is the definition of ''ḥutspa'' -- she hadn't even been helped yet, and she already insulted the person who was there to help her. Guess who's not going to get stellar service from that office?

In the spirit of the upcoming Day of Atonement, Esther and I would like to apologize and ask forgiveness of anyone we may have inadvertently offended or upset. I know, an "e-apology" doesn't quite cut it, but it's what we can do when you've kept quiet about being upset with us! I, in particular, request your forgiveness for my occasionally acerbic tone and sometimes cynical expressions.

Since this ''shabbat'' is the fast of the Day of Atonement, we have a special menu:
remorse over what we've done wrong,
confession of our mistakes,
resolve not to repeat them,
and God willing -- atonement!

Until next week,<br>
shabbat shalom,
and ''gemar ḥatima tova''!
