OY, THANK G@D FOR SHABBES!
בס"ד
14 Sh'vat
Went to Schara Tzedeck last night & today. Spent good, solid, wholesome Shabbat time (read: eating & talking) with Dan, Josie & Mordechai, Avrum, Mia, Morey & Alissa.
Our conversations were full of politics, religion, marriage, gender, geography & philosophy. Then we sang. & went for a walk. Avrum says that the FFB (Frum From Birth: raised Orthodox) Jews in Toronto, where he now lives, don't have the sorts of conversations over the Shabbes table that the Jews in Vancouver do: things that inspire us to wrestle with our faith, challenge our practice. Whether Judaism makes our lives bigger or smaller than they otherwise would be.
Some more of my friends will be making Aliyah (moving to Israel) in the next year or two. I wonder how long it will be before all of us thirty-ish Vancouver Yidden will have picked up & made our home in The Land...
Shavu'ah tov.
A good week.
