not much conversation about the state of Judaism or the world in general. Mostly about catching up and news of those not currently local.
Plans made to break fast next week.
per usual, I am already a few days into trying to review my behavior of the year just past. Trying to focus less on asking forgiveness and more on forgiving others...not as easy as it sounds when pride and denial are in the way.
Them old calendar folks knew what they were doing giving us over a week to work on it.
