New Experience

As mentioned below, I'm reposting some old LJ entries to get things started. This one is from Nov. 16th, 2007.
================================
I was raised Presbyterian, but aside from weddings and funerals, I haven't attended any sort of religious observance since 1988. Tonight I went to Shabbat service.

A number of times, I found myself thinking "ok, what just happened?" Id been to a Latin mass once, and didn't understand that either. But I guess the important part is that most of the congregation did. (Of particular note was that the half-dozen children were out-singing the adults, and in harmony.)

It so happened that there were also some comparative religion students there on what I guess you'd call a field trip. After the service, I kibbitzed in the Q&A with the students and a couple of the members and found that to be most informative.

Tomorrow is the Basic Judaism class. I should make a list of things to ask.

Mmmmmm. There's some bean and barley stew in the crock pot for tomorrow. Smells yummy.
