Jewish musings, Fri-Sat, Shabbat, Jan. 5-6

[gazelle18]

What’s on your mind — how to make kugel? This week’s Torah reading? Life goals? Prayer? We are all engaged in weight loss/weight maintenance journeys and we are all Jewish or at least interested in Judaism. We like to eat, we like to discuss. It is our goal here to provide each other support on our journeys, to share experiences, to call on our rich cultural heritage and texts, and to help each other grow spiritually.


Some of us take weekly turns starting the thread:


Frieda (hopefully)?
Holly
Lee
Louise
Lynne
Peachy




And for those of you that stop by to read this thread without posting — you are welcome to, but you are also welcome to chime in. Don’t be shy!

Hello everyone,
On this first Shabbat of 2024, I am hoping for better news from Israel. It will make the prayer for peace even more relevant and personal. Louise, I wish you safe travel, and I hope your trip is meaningful and fulfilling and worthwhile!
Good shabbos all

Shabbat shalom.
I will probably be MIA next week but will try to post at least once. I'm kind of amazed myself that I am going. I got a new carry on bag and looks so tiny - a shoe box with wheels. Hopefully will be able to make it work - have been hearing so many lost luggage stories of late. Looks like rain half the time I will be there - never went there in the rainy season before.

Lynne, wishing you comfort, a speedy recovery, and some good books.
