Standing again at Sinai. I'm not going to be here for Shavuot, because I signed up for this for the third year in a row. Great davening, great study, great scenery (and maybe this year not freezing every night with intermittant hot water, for a change), great singing (I always come back with several wonderful new melodies for zmirot and liturgy), mediocre socializing. So I pack some reading material and leave the 20-somethings to their "Did I meet you two years ago at Pardes/Harvard/Schechter/JTS?" (Last year the organizers put all us old fogies in the same bunk, which was sweet.)

But seeing what gala events are planned for Manhattan, I kind of regret leaving town. If you're in NYC and want to get together with a lot of Jews doing that critical intelligence thing we are so famous for, check it out.

I have been very slack in the Jewish holiday blogging this year, and in past years I didn't write much about Shavuot at all. So I am going to make it all up to you now. While I am at Camp Ramah in the Berkshires, I leave you with enough study material to last you all night, if you have no Tikkun Leil Shavuot in your area.

The Naughty Boy

There was a naughty boy,

And a naughty boy was he,

He ran away to Scotland

The people for to see

Then he found
That the ground

Was as hard,

That a yard

Was as long,

That a song

Was as merry,

That a cherry

Was as red,

That lead

Was as weighty,

That fourscore

Was as eighty,

That a door

Was as wooden

As in England
So he stood in his shoes

And he wonder'd;

He stood in his shoes

And he wonder'd.

Where Go The Boats?

(1)

Dark brown is the river,
Golden is the sand.

It floats along forever,

With trees on either hand.
(2)

Green leaves a-floating,

Castles of the foam,

Boats of mine a-floating

Where will all come home?
(3)

On goes the river

And out past the mill,

Away down the valley,

Away down the hill.
(4)

Away down the river,
A hundred miles or more,
Other little children

Shall bring my boats ashore.
