Kesher Talk

". . . asher kidshanu b’mitzvotav v’tzivanu lishmoah kol shofar." My one-year blogiversary was August 9 in the Gregorian calendar, but the first of Ellul in the Jewish calendar, which begins tonight this year (The Jewish calendar added a leap-month this year, which pushed everything back about three weeks relative to the Gregorian calendar). I've got some links and comments about this special day in that first post.

Tonight I hope to be looking at Mars through a telescope, and early tomorrow morning I plan to usher in my yearly Ellul cheshbon hanefesh with hearing the shofar for the first time this year, and singing Hallel (just about my favorite liturgical activity, since there are so many great melodies for these psalms, and it's an amazing group high).
