If you could look like anything...anything at all....what would you look like? I'd be the wind.
...........It's easy to be someone's friend when all you need is someone to console you. It's much harder to be there for them when they're happy all the time.
.............Even when I say nothing, it's a beautiful use of negative space.

I just came home from an amazing weekend in wonderful New York City. It was our synagogue's senior trip. I think I can sum the whole thing up into two groups of two words: Absolutely Amazing and Spiritual uplift. I think I really did reach a new peak in my Judaism....
We went to three congragations on Shabbat to share their prayer. Friday night we went to P'nai Jerurun, this Conservative synagogue that's kind of the model for singing and spirituality. So we danced with them around the sanctuary. It was amazing. We walked from there to rabbi London's friend's house for dinner and Alissa and I danced down the streets of New York belting Alan music at the top of our lungs. One of the most amazing nights ever.
Saturday morning we went to a Reconstructionist congregation, and they invited us onto the bima to join them in the prayer to read torah. And they sung Mi Sheberach, my favorite prayer. Although I like the Jeff Klepper melody better. It always makes me feel very connected to go to congregations around the country and hear the same prayers.
The third congregation was an orthadox shul. The women were in this little separate thing....almost a separate room but the wall only came halfway up. It was still kinda shotty....
All in all an uplifting weekend. I'll post more stories as they come up, there was much more to the weekend than judaism. :-)
