Oy, its a crime
In a little seen item in the Jerusalem News, there was a major theft of a warehouse loaded with egg enriched dough. Unfortunately, this has happened right before the upcoming Sabbath. This will force all of the bakeries to bake their Sabbath challahs with plain, white flour. Leading rabbis were quoted as saying that they are appalled by the rise in "white challah crimes." (OK, I'm appropriately embarrassed for passing that one on

)

But seriously, I sincerely wish you and your loved ones a shana tova u'metuka, a wonderful and sweet new year. (I do hope I said that right!) Blessings be with you, my friend! --Steve--

How many times have you heard the shofar blown and what effect does it have upon you? I guess I am asking if the shofar sound has a certain spiritual effect upon your soul, you essence of being. What significance do you ascribe to the blowing of the shofar, beloved of G-d?
For me as a Catholic, the singing of the Alleulia after the consecration of the Eucharist is truly uplifting. I feel as though I am joining my brothers and sisters in the complete joyful worship of G-d. There is nothing more joyful and uplifting than sending my voice up in praise and thanksgiving to G-d.
I await your reply.
