Among Friends

[Shanus]

Shabbat Shalom and Happy Friday. All are welcome to join in here. It started many years ago by Sunny (@sunula) and I'm keeping it going, but try not to make it a religious thread.

BTW, our Temple increased dues and added a building fund for a children's wing to be added. Everyone is expected to add this $200 to monthly dues. Nope, no children to attend there and adding $200 a month for that building when we have no kids to use it? We gave up our membership and are streaming services at Park Ave. Synagogue (NY)....love the cantor Azi Shwartz. 

I had a wonderful combo facial, scalp and full body deep tissue massage yesterday. It was so difficult to drive home. Lol. A new place opened a few months ago and I loved it. My back and neck appreciated the relaxed muscles.

Economy seems to be worse, but still praying for peace and no violence. We never know what mall or street or food store will be the next shooting. 

My granddaughters are at camp for several weeks and I miss them.

Have a wonderful, restful and safe weekend.

@Shanus - Since Shabbat is the holiest day in the Jewish year and you are "trying not to make (this) a religous thread," it seems that it would be appropriate to change the name of this thread. Thank you for keeping it going.

Hi everyone! 

We made it through another week to post on this inclusive, friendly thread.  TY @Shanus  for keeping this going.  I think of @sunula very often when I post here.  

@Shanus   Funny, I THINK I attended a wedding at that synagogue. I looked it up and looked familiar to me, as well as the surrounding area. It was YEARS ago, so I can't say with  100% certainty. 

LOL I feel the same way when I leave the salon after a pedicure, after sitting in the massage chair. My legs are like jello. lol lol 

I hope you all have a restful weekend. I hope you do something to recharge yourself for the upcoming week. 

If the weather holds up. I'll be outside weeding and setting up the deck furniture. 

Today is National Chocolate Chip Day.  There is nothing better than a warm, gooey chocolate chip cookie, imo.

@Q-Checker   Shabbat is the sabbath and is evey Friday of the year. The holiest day of the Jewish year is Yom Kippur.

It seems others enjoy the thread and you don't have to check back here if it bothers you in any way. 

Have a nice weekend.

@Shelbelle    You're so right....the 15th. I walked passed my calendar before i had my glasses on. Happy Birthday to your son.

BTW, I edited the date on the original thread.

I also enjoy the thread. My comment was about nomenclature. There are differences of opinion about the holiest day  of the year in Judaism. I am surprised that the mod's have continued to allow the title of this thread, a religious greeting, since topics about religion are not permitted.

When Sunny started this topic every Fri many years ago, she poisted it in Community, and the mods asked her to move it to Among Friends, which she did, seems to be no issue since then.
