High Holy Days Two

I am now back in the flat after leading services at MLJC for Yom Kippur.  I am pretty pleased with how things went. Although it was, as always very tiring and by the end I was so shattared that my shofar blast at the end was not either all that long or all that loud.
On the bright side, my service leading was better than it had been last year and I was really pleased with how both my sermons went.
The next day I had a look around Manchester Cathedral, which is surprissingly not something I have done before. It has had a very interesting history.
Then it was home by train.
All in all happy with how things went. Now on to the 3rd year proper.

High Holy Days

I'm currently very busy, which given that its nearly Yom Kippur is not at all surprising.  This year my High Holy Day Community is MPJC Rosh Hashanah went very well. People liked my shofar blowing which was probably the best I've ever done.
I was also pleased with how my sermons went.  I am home (Newcastle-under-Lyme) at the moment partly just for a rest but also for Rebecca's Bday.
Working on my Yom Kippur sermons and Torah readings. Okay but still a bit stress making.  Today I went to Menorah partly to say Hi to Haim Shalom. It was fun to be back in Menorah if only for a morning.
I have a lot do still, but so far I'm enjoying the third year.

First day back at school

Today was my first day back at school. Really more orientation than school proper, we were introduced to the new school program and to the new first year.  Tomorrow we have some classes, which are make up class for sessions which we are going to miss latter in the year because of High Holy Days. I am slowly reading my way though the new handbooks.
I think I have finally completed the work required for the project I am doing for limmud.  But should go to bed now as I have to be up at 7am tomorrow to go and study Talmud.
