With all of the repentance and atonement of the Jewish High Holidays, I find myself at a loss for words. I’ll let Cricket speak for me this week.

  21. I enjoy reading Cricket’s version of your blog too. LOL Also since I’ve been enjoying learning more and more about Jewish ‘life’ from my lovely endearing boss, it is intriguing and interesting to continue to LEARN so much. Thank you Rachel for also being one of my ‘teachers’… 🙂
