Today was Yom Kippur, so I spent most of it not on the internet.
I didn’t get tickets to our synagogue--we’re not members since something happened with our payments that somehow never got straightened out--but that’s been our routine for a couple years now. Last night we watched Kol Nidre streamed by Nashuva. It's extremely Californian, with the rabbi going barefoot and, at one point, Spanish guitar, but I like it a lot. And it's free.
Today, I read the book of Jonah, a list of people's regrets they seek to atone for, went for a solitary walk in a nearby park, and said some of the prayers that don't require a minyan. Maybe next year I'll get tickets, or try to go to Mishkan's services, but I feel like it was a fulfilling holy day.
Now, I'm sitting with a pay data (from my birthday drinks) in one hand and watching let's plays withschoolpsychnerd. It's been a thoughtful day.
