Hello Everyone:
The big Jewish Holidays are over for now. There's still Chanukah and a few others until the "Holiday that shall not be named," otherwise, pretty quiet. It was pretty quiet for me anyway because I really can't get into them. I mean all the fussing about followed by two days of inactivity just don't do it for me. What am I supposed to for a couple of days without access to WiFi. I know, pretty typical of life in the digital age. It's always been like that. I take time off for the Jewiah holidays and I start wondering why I'm not in school or at work. I can't sit around and do little or nothing for a sustained period of time. Shuttling from home to synagogue to someone's house or back home is so boring. Then what am I supposed to do after the meal? Go home or go for walk. Once I've gone for yet another walk, then what? It's not just the bordom, it's I can't get into the whole thing. I learned about the holidays in school but it was in abstract and never made much of an impact. I tried doing some more reading on them to try get a deeper understanding of them but nothing. I can't really explain why, it's just they're days on the calendar for me. No sense of specialness. I think if I had some family ritual(s) or a papa blue sense of family togetherness, perhaps things would be different. Just sitting around eating, then scattering, isn't my idea of finding joy in holiday.
