Monday night was the start of the Jewish New Year. Its one of the more important Jewish Holidays, and focuses on starting the coming year off well and reflecting on the past year and things to improve about one’s life and practices. I’m not a very religious Jew. The culture and spirituality are important to me becasue of how i’ve been raised, and the values I have believed to be important in my life thus far. Many Jews take off of work and school for this holiday, as well as Yom Kippur which is next week. I find it really difficult to just not do anyting for an entire day, to put everything else on hold to observe this holiday. So, i went to calss tuesday, left video early to go to services, which were surprisingly fulfilling. The thing is, i don’t really get homesick, but these Jewish Holidays make me miss my family a lot.
Any way. I just wanted to write a little about that.
