THAT’S IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-ok
So hubby and I both woke up in the middle of the night. I was up and down a few times. I even emptied the dishwasher and cleaned up the kitchen. So there we were, both awake with nothing to do (OK! get your minds out of the gutter!) So we started to talk and I started to laugh. I have been giggling ever since!!!
So we rushed over to the synagogue for eight A.M!!!!!! Hubby was suppose to receive an HONOUR. Anyhow I get there later than him because I walk SLOWWWW! It takes me about a half hour to walk over. When I start off my body hurts so I have a hard time and I don’t know if I will make it or not.
I finally arrive! I sit upstairs so I have a clear view of hubby. So I sit down and wait!!!!!!!!!!! I wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I motion to him to find out if I missed when he went up to the TORAH. He motions back but I can’t understand. Finally after about an hour or more I realize that he isn’t getting the HONOUR!!!!! What happened??
I am getting more and more restless. Since I don’t believe in God and I don’t pray I am BORED STIFF!!!!!!!! There is no one around to talk to. Women don’t usually come so early. In fact when I arrive I am the only woman in this great big synagogue.
So we hear the Rabbi’s speech. He talks about why it is ILLEGAL for the Israelis to make the FENCE. Right!!! Because then the Arabs will not be able to kill the Israelis. He said that some Europeans are building fences or whatever to keep out illegal immigrants. I have never heard about this but he said that it was happening and it was legal. So why is it legal to build a fence to keep out illegal immigrants but not ok to build a fence to keep out killers???
Then he talked about our society and said how cancer is spreading throughout our society. He was referring to the terrorists. He said the world didn’t speak up when terrorism started and now it is just getting much worse.
Finally we heard the shofar and we left. Hubby told me that whoever was looking after the honours got MIXED up and gave his honour to someone else. Well I was MAD!!!!! We got up so early and went over for NOTHING??
I think I’ve had it. I don’t think I will go back to shul tomorrow. I am very disappointed that none of my kids come so why should I go??????? Plus I don’t believe etc. I am tired of being a hypocrite and going for nothing. I told my hubby to get rid or our seats which cost about 1000 a year but he says we have had the same seats for about forty years – ever since the shul was built. What’s the use of keeping the seats? He never cared but came with me. I don’t care so now I go with him. The kids don’t come.
ENOUGH!!!!!!!
Sorry things didn’t work out the way you wanted. I don’t go to church anymore either.

I am so sorry for the mix-up. Could he speak to someone about that? I don’t want to comment on “beliefs.” I love you for you and I pray for you, this is good for ME! đŸ™‚ You take care and I hope you 2 make the decision together. Maybe the kids would go,if they knew how important it is to you and hubby? I don’t know? sorry. hugzzzzzzzz………

may i ask a question? a sincere one… i do not know much about being Jewish, i had two Jewish friends that left my school in 5th grade and i really did not learn much from them because we were so young. what do you mean, give up your seats because they are costing you? that doesn’t mean much to me, i would like to know. thanks. : )
