party time

Friday night we had a combination birthday party/oneg Shabbat/random drinking of champagne at some time approximating midnight. It was fun, although I (predictably) dozed off on the futon around 1:15, when we were down to only two guests (out of a starting number around twenty). Amazingly enough, I was wide awake at 7:25 AM on Saturday and made it to shul by 8:05 for the rabbi's Hilchot Shabbat class. This week we got up to the part in the Shulchan Aruch about calling women up to read from the Torah on Shabbat. Poor Rabbi G, dealing with me and one other outspoken woman. We got onto an interesting conversation about kavod hatzibbur (dignity of the congregation), but before we knew it (and probably much to Rabbi G's relief) it was 8:45 and time for davening.

No, I didn't forget about last week's weekend update. It's coming.
