Shabbat should be like this more often; sleeping till 10 a.m., leisurely lunch with great friends, 8 games of volleyball followed by 23 games of basketball followed by umpteen games of cards, all infused with silly/interesting/agitating/wonderful conversations. I wonder what's possible to actualize in my every-week Shabbat observance...
I also spent some time finally digging into "The Sacred Table," a new food book I contributed an article to. Between some of what I've read, and the intense study and deep conversations we've done these past two weeks, I have a feeling my congregants are going to hear about Kashrut this upcoming High Holidays...
What a terrific two weeks it's been here at the farm... Once again, spending time with great, idealistic, funny, smart people. Before my sabbatical began, when it was all theoretical, and I really didn't know what I wanted to do, I had this idea that I wanted to sweat and study. Kayam and the Kollel have given me that great opportunity once again, and I surely hope to be able to come here again and again. I have planted some of my roots here. And to mix metaphors, this place, this ground, these people, have gotten into my blood.
